Yeah. Hey. This is the first time I've logged on since my last post.
I'm kind of a flake like that. Anyways, it's in the garage on jack stands waiting for it's next update. It's a perfect time to get some good pictures for you guys.

how did that wiring go for the motor? an changing of anything for the obdii? i'm hoping to partake this swap sometime within the next 2yrs

 

The wiring was pretty easy actually because I didn't do much of anything. I found a guy on that modified the 2007 harness for around $500. It was made to run to the stand alone ecm with a manual transmission. It's an A500 auto but the engine doesn't need to know. It was plug and play actually. I trimmed my original OBDI Dak harness to run necesseties: starter, lights, wipers, etc. I've got both ecms mounted inside the engine compartment on the passenger side.

Also, I had the guy give me a diagnostic port straight out of the OBDII ecm.

More guys are selling plug and play harnesses and ecms:
B&G, HotRod Lane guys (forget there co. name), Mopar, Ebay Shop

I'm not much help if you are going to cut the harness yourself. Don't really think it would take much though. If you've got the schematic and patience you'd be in good shape. I lacked both.
