Wiring harness

I'm realy happy with the deal i got on a motor tranny combo with the wiring harness and computor. Now I'm tring to research a little and find a easier wiring harness and other upgrades I can do like Intake, throttle body, cams, etc.. It's a 98 4.6l motor out of a Mark IIIV. Any input would be appreciated.

Maybe ask the guys in the 4.6/5.4 forum.... 98 is way to new for me I am sure they will have lots of upgrade ideas.

That will be a cool set up in your truck. I would like to do a 4.6 DOHC cobra motor in my 51. I feel this motor has the modern day flad head look with the curent tech to back it up. I know Painless makes a harness for it as does F.A.S.T. but they are not cheap. I came accross a deal to good up on a Vortec 5.3L chevy or I would do a simular swap in mine.

I got a 95 4.6 and 4R70W transmission out of a T-bird in my 48 F-1 I am building. I got a real easy wiring harness from {thedetailzone.com}. I was real pleased and the engine and transmission worked great with the ECM from the T-bird. Like the man said it wasn't cheap but in the long run it is probably well worth it. I hope to get my cab painted in the next couple weeks so we can put it back on the frame and put the other parts on and get to driving it some more. Good luck.
