Message	I would like some input on replacing the EFI harness with the engine and transmission in the car. I made a post in the technical section but did not get as much as feedback as I hoped. The upper plenum is off and the EGR system is deleted. Just by looking at it I can tell getting around the heater core hard pipes is going to be a PITA. I know there are members here that have replaced their EFI harness with the motor and trans in place, so please give me some tips and input on how you managed to do it. Thanks. Buy Zama Posters Here I have nightmares about that happening...I'd be the poor bastard you'd hear about on the news that gets killed by a softball-size chunk while spreading out my body over the hood and screaming "Nooo!"

Probes suck, that's just all there is to it. - 300ZXpert (someday) on April 04, 2005 at 11:35 PM P.S. You REALLY are on here at ALL hours!
