Re: Big Bertha Build thread x2

The 454 is in and wired. The wiring was pretty close except the injector wiring. 454 plug had 10 wires and the 350 had 16. Figured it out. 454 had a hot wire for each side of the engine and the 350 had individual hots to each injector. I traced the wires back and they all joined together in the harness. Other wiring was adjusting lengths since items were in a different location on the engine. I did have to use a combination of my accessories and the some brackets off the 350. I am waiting for a new belt, custom made radiator and my computer tune. Should have it up and running by next weekend. It went pretty smooth overall. I did not take may pics since it was all under the truck....here is one of the wiring looking down through the floor.
