so i just bought a motor, wiring harness, and ecu for 1800 shipped. All i need now is the throttle cable the p\s lines and new stock mounts if i'm not mistaken (i have the later 89 model) i got a big fmic 32 12 4 wish me luck on fitting that bitch and if anyone can help me out with anything else i need please let me know i would appreaciate any post or you can call me, im on eastern time but dont worry to much bout that, my number is 812 736 1875. i'm just worried bout whether im going to be missing anything stupid like all the little sensors mounted to the fenders or anything. does the 1j use a ignitor or you know any of the misc. sensors on the fenders or can i just pull them out b\c the new harness should have what i need. As far as the cooling system goes im just going to pull the fan and run a big aluminum rad with slim fans im running 3in ic pipes so if i am lost here let me know i have swapped some motors before this is my first 1j i'm just going to wing it i guess i have read all the faqs and things if anyone could just give me a few tips on adapting the wiring harness that would be the most help (really the only thing i'm worried about) also if there is anyone in the louisville area that has done this i would really be greatful if you could drop by and make sure i'm doin what i need to do to get this done right. thanks a lot for any help ahead of time.

im in the same spot as you i have started getting the things that I needed i dont know if you will but for me it was the igniter, the right oil pan setup, 2jz water pump, powerstearing line, map sensor, all the a/c lines, all the ic pipes, motor mounts, down pipe, and then there are the little things im sure i will run into on the way like the fuse box under the hood if i can make the one on the car work or not and im sure there will be some other things that u will run into when you start doing it so good luck to you and keep us updated on what you get done and what you run into :icon_bigg

I'm loving all the generocity that we've had the last couple of evenings. It helps offset the bickering we've also had. Plus one to you CandyBlue for stepping up and offering some help.....................:bowdown:
