I decided to test fit the harness to see if the changes would be long enough. This entailed installing the harness on the engine and doing a quick engine install to check things out.

It fits, I have made correct measurements

Here are a few pics of the motor.







Next project:

"The rat's nest." Believe it or not, I must now 'shorten' most of the wires that go to the firewall. I only needed to lengthen 12 wires.


The injector plugs sorted themselves out when I installed the motor. Thanks to the rubber jackets on the wires. Age had placed permenent kinks in them that only allowed them to fit in one place.

outsider, are you documenting which wires you're cutting, diagrams? etc?

when I re-routed the wiring, I thought it to be very striaght forward so I only took these pictures. I did not record which wires I added to.

The next task is to clean up the harness and I also have a few plugs to move like the data connector and such. After that it will fit the car like the stock harness. I can then start the hard part, rewiring the plugs.
