Currently doing a LM7 swap on my 1986 240 and I am doing the wiring and I was just wondering from those that have done it before what the preference/what has worked best for those that have done it.
I am just run the stock truck harness stripped down to the engine needs, using the stock ecm, and stock fuse block stripped down of the non- essentials.
The options I have seen is:
1. Run stock harness, stock ecm, stock fuse block
2. Make a stand alone harness from the stock harness and run the stock ecm.
3. Run an aftermarket harness and stock ecu
4, Run stand alone set up with custom harness
Yes I realize there are more options then this but these seem to be the most common. Just wondering who has had experience good or bad, what worked and what hasn't if you could do it again what would you change
The Plan:
Engine: Run the stock 2004 5.3l iron block with the stock 706 heads. Run that till it is up and running then upgrade from there
Trans: Run the 4l60e wired to shift manually
Driveshaft: Going to use the Volvo 240 2 piece driveshaft with a 4l60e slip yoke on the front
Wiring: Going to use the stock wiring harness strip out some of it, use the stock fuse box
ECU/ECM: Going to use the stock one and just reflash it
Cooling: Running a Nissan 240sx KA dual row radiator
Mounts: Making engine mounts and trans mount that bolt to existing subframes
Would love input from anyone who has done this swap or a swap similar of what the best things to do and avoid are
