Unfortunately I can't. The car is 700 miles away from me. Try contacting Fieroking (Joe) he may be able to help you out with the connectors.

Edit to Add: Have you seen this site? http://www.dohcfiero.com/electrical.htm Although that may only help you with the harness...

ya i tried that site and like you said it only shows the harness

Here's a question, with this being a new GM replacement engine do I need to break it in? It's my understanding that new car engines are broken in at the factory. Thoughts?

Thanks

The way I look at it: It can't hurt.

If you do a normal break-in (or Joe does), then all you're out is the oil change. If you don't, and need it, then who knows?

first thanks for the help and as far as breaking in i would say i would run it like i was breaking it in due to it wont hurt it to run it like it needs to be broke in but if you don't break it in and it needs to be broke in then the rings may never seat right

I have received an update from Joe.

Parts are back from the powder coaters:

The engine and tranny are mounted on the cradle:



The wheel wells at bay are all painted and the fire wall treatment is done:



And the wiring has commenced


Thanks for the update Joe

I always like mine, cat + maganflow + CC inserts, nice and quiet (= no cops/annoyed neighbors!) for normal driving but hit the gas and it had a nice grow without being tiring on a long drive.

Thanks Ltlfrari. But I have all the diagrams for the 97 LQ1, this is my second LQ1 build. the wiring harness is almost done now, would have been done but my soldering gun's tip decided to fail and I didn't have a replacement.
