    so took a huge set back today. my harness fund is gone lol. so i decided to finish doing my wiring harness. once i got all the electric tape and insulation off it wasnt that bad. i got all the wires i dont need taken out and all the ones i need routed and labeled. i just need to order the fuse block relays and obd2 connectors. it was actually pretty easy just very time consuming. ive spent probably about 6 hours on the harness already. ill be out of town this weekend so i cant do anything else to it but ill pick up some insulation and tape on monday and cklean it all up. i also broke the pigtails that go to the injectors when i was removing the harness. got some donated just paid shipping so hopefully those get here next week when i get the fuses and stuff and i can complete it. used www.lt1swap.com as a guide and was exremely detailed. walked through every step of the way.

    heres all the wiring i removed


    heres my harness all labled and seperated


    hopefully it all works. seems pretty straight forward but theres always something. if all goes well i just saved myself $650

    it wasnt as hard as i thought it would be honestly. i figure if all else fails ill just order a new one. let me know if you have any questions on it. im pretty good with electrical because my background is in car audio. im on the last few steps with this build. just gotta finish modifying the flywheel then ill be ready to drop in the motor and wire it up.

    oh yea...home stretch..gotta wait on lt1firehawk to let me use his hoist again so i can pull the engine back out bolt up the trans and drop it back in there. i was trying to bolt the trans up in there last night but couldnt get it leveled and lined up. so i figure grap the hoist...less frustration. all thats left is...fuel lines..starter fluids and pcm.

    Good luck, around here if you try to work on a vehicle in a condo garage you'll be in violation of terms of the rental/lease contract.
