Thumbs up newly created 97 PS

Fianlly got done converting a 94 IDI to a 97 PS, the actual swap was fpretty straightforward, wiring harness in the dash was the worst part.Iwould never do this again without having a complete--totallycomplete donor truck. Mine was missing sensors, wiring, idler pulleys and thats what ate my lunch. In addition in the act of swiping the engine harness, they unplugged the IPR and plugged it back in incorrectly and that caused a week of no starts, waiting for friends advice and much reading of this forum. I have a loose fuel line on top to deal with today, but it seems to run fine. thanks for all your help GS

Congrats on the completion. I can only imagine the head ache it must have been.

I can't agree more; this goes for any major swap. I put an EFI motor in a 79 F-150. Now I'm ready for something even more fun, like a PSD swap. Just have to come across a good deal on a donor truck.

Glad you got her running, got any pics of the swap process?
