luke454 said:*How did you go with the wiring? Did you ditch the old harness/fuse box etc? Also how does the shifter/selector line up on the inside? Any significant interior mods?
Used the original wiring in the fuse box, just find the wire that goes to the fuel pump relay from the original ECU and use that.
Iam using a B&M quicksilver shifter, used the original parts that were attached to a TH400 and made a few mods.
luke454 said:*Fuel pump, whats the plan here, stock ok?
Used a standard VL pump which is the same as the VN one, it is fine for up to about 400 flywheel Hp.
luke454 said:*Power steering and A/C lines, I'm guessing I will have to rip up some custom suckers?
Power steering lines were made up by Enzed, cost $80. I just supplied them with some VL lines, the short power steer lines that were attached to the pump (i bought just an engine not a front cut so they were cut) and told them the length i wanted between them and it work's perfectly. Make sure u use the flexible metal pipe inside the rubber section of the power steering hoses as it stops the dreaded power steering moan, cut a line in half and u will see what's inside.
A/C has not been done yet but only needs hoses to be made.
luke454 said:I have two weeks to complete the conversion so I need as much info as I can get. The plan is to find out all the problem areas before I start so everything goes smoothly, so any tips you can give about those lovely fiddely problems (if anymore than you have already stated) will be much appreciated.
Thanks chief,
2 weeks hey, I wish u luck! It is possible without any problems but it is a fair bit to do in a short time frame. It is not that it is a difficult conversion but things take time to do properly. Any other questions PM me or post here.
