Also, the torque arm needs to be monitored in relation to the reverse lockout solenoid on the trans, and the steering shaft also needs to be aligned correctly. |  Finally, the alignment pins...  Finally, the alignment pins look good, so Rob drops the car to meet the subframe. Three bolts on each side connect the subframe to the body; an impact with an 18mm socket tightens them... |  ...The trans crossmember and...  ...The trans crossmember and spindles can also be reconnected. |  Finally, he uses a pry bar...  Finally, he uses a pry bar to gently align the steering arm and the rack. There is a groove to allow it to install the right way, and it's retained with one bolt. The crate is in! |  I'm a firm believer in always...  I'm a firm believer in always replacing beat-up wiring-regardless of mileage-when doing an engine swap. Why? Cause it's a few hundred bucks more to ensure there are no problems with your several thousand-dollar engine! Scoggin-Dickey supplied this OEM M6 harness (part No. 12177653, $549). |  Prior to bolting the new crate...  Prior to bolting the new crate engine in, Rob took the time to position the new wiring harness in the engine bay so it would be ready to connect to the big mill. |  He pops on and screws in the...

Don't forget that a new engine like the LS3 or this GMPP crate utilize Gen IV-style injector connections-your LS1 harness uses a different connection type. LPE remedies this problem with its LS2/LS7 Injector Connector Kit (part No. 8L480080000, $26). This will entail re-pinning our harness with these adapters. |  Orange weatherpack insulators...  Orange weatherpack insulators are slipped on, then he uses a crimping tool for non-insulated terminals to attach the two pins. Jason starts by snipping off the Gen III-style injector connector. |  Next, he slips each one into...  Next, he slips each one into the connector. FYI, on this harness, the pink wire is power and that goes into Terminal 1 on the connector. The other wire changes color from injector clip to injector clip, but always goes into Terminal 2. |  With both pins slipped into...  With both pins slipped into the connector, Jason pushes down on the red plastic piece, which locks each pin into place, preventing them from pulling out. He does that process for all eight connectors. |  As the knock sensors are moved...  As the knock sensors are moved on the Gen IV engines, TTP uses pre-tapped holes on the side of the block to mount them in. |
