Willy, read my build thread (last post). I just chased down my charging issue with my 5.0 swap. It was a connector that needs repinned for the exciter wire. I posted pics!

Thats what i figured the excite wire wasent getting power im running 97 ecu on 98 harness and 98 motor so all kinds of gremlens are bound to pop up like my tach works without moving pins oil pressure works temp sensor dosent havent driven it yet to figure out the shifting issues

Did get the trans harness hooked up today the blinkin o/d off light went away still not sure why my dash had an o/d light was a manual truck

 

[willy]

The pats left in my truck wasent sending power to the starter relay so i rewired it to a push button and used the nss in my b&m shifter

 

[willy]

Used the foglight button as my start button took the slide lock out of it to make it a momentary switch not a on off button

 

[willy]

I do need to get rid of the theft light that thing blinks like a champ

 

[willy]

Got the exhaust past the tight spots now need to weld the rest up put in some bungs put the bed on fix charging issue then testdrive time

That sounds like a tall short list. What did use for the drive shaft?
