First gen lightning swap
I have a 93 flareside with a 5.0 and e40d. 318k miles. I wanna do a swap with the 1st gen lightning motor. Now with that being said someone has one for sale locally for 350 for the motor and trans. The truck was in an accident and was announced totaled so he pulled the engine and trans. 150k the wiring harness is cut tho? What do I do? Is it still worth it ?

Can't you just use the lightning motor and PCM and your old harness?
