From head lights to tails including fuel pumps and reverse lights were used. The 86 to 89 harness is about the simplesest with a 2" bulkhead connector. I also installed the 88 dash into the 65 66 CC bezel. I really did not have to modify the wiring much to get everything working. Even have cruize control as i installed the 88 tilt collum on a 61 427 rod hanger. I have over 12 thousand miles on the truck since built.
A small block application will be a similar install as the 7.5s and 5.8s share the same puter.

Gears in brain beginning to turn... I
have thought about rewiring the whole shebang just to get rid of the 40+ year old wiring just waiting to betray me.
However, I didn't consider using an entire late model ford harness. I think I like that idea, It goes along with me being a cheapskate. Although, I'd have to go with a Mustang harness right? I'd want to keep my dash and column stock though. Rewire the entire truck...Kind of scary, kind of fun...
What's the worst thing that could happen?
think, think, think...definitely maybe.
