I have a harness I'm going to snag from a buddy, possibly along with a flywheel since the motor is the wrong year. So it's all figured out, and I got 80% of what I paid for it back already, but it is still dissapointing. The worst part is teardown for the timing cover... You have to rip apart the entire motor and since I'm using one from mine, I have to tear two motor's completely down... By myself, it's going to take a while.
If I was closer, I would give you a hand. I am down to 6 hours now...from running, installed engine to a bare short block on a stand.
