Wiring needs some TLC, might surprise you, hook all the wiring up it might run as is. Sometimes under hood wiring comes up in the for sale section.

It actually runs as is and kind of drives, The driveshaft they have in it is actually too long for the 700r4 and they tried driving it without the TV cable hooked up so the 700r4 isn't very healthy. Unfortunately the underhood wiring isn't the only one they hacked, They also hacked up the wiring under the dash and for the steering column.
