Hi everyone, just found this board and I've got some questions about doing the 4.3 vortec swap. I know there's been a bunch of posts on this already but I still have a couple of questions. Is painless the only company that makes a universal harness? I'm also trying to figure out what to do as far as the transmission. I really want to put a 5sp in (I'v been driving an auto for about two years now and I'm sick of it ) I've got an AX5 off a 4 banger cherokee, I know there are some companies who make a kit for the wrangler with this tranny to bolt up to the vortec. Has anyone done this before on this board? If I could get an Chey 5spd though I'm sure that would be cheaper and easier, does anyone know off the top of their head what the model number would be for one that bolts up to a 96-98 V6? Thanks for any response. O, btw I the Vortec is going in a 87 Wagoneer Limited XJ that has the 4.0 and auto tranny in it right now.
