So tomorrow I should just be that much closer to the big day. I have my engine dropped in and pretty much ready to go besides the ecu wiring. I have all the connections crimped to bullet connections for easy debugging. Once I get everything correct in the wiring i'm going to cut all the connections out one by one and solder it all up. Sound like more work, but just giving myself some peace of mind. Nothing worse than soldering twice. =) So now I'm trying to figure out what's the best method of running the hot wire to the starter?

Or how did you guys do yours. I can't remember how the stock 3.4 wiring was rigged...

 

yep, thats how I did mine. Although I ran the starter hot wire along the power steering hard lines. To me it looked better that way.

 

well i did it even better. my motor when i bought it was complete, but i couldn't figure out how the starter wire was rigged. well i used the factory 3.4 starter wiring/cable and stripped everything out from it, only leaving the starter trigger wire with it. I reloomed everything and, it connects in the front/lower part of the engine. Works like a champ. I just ran the 8 gauge to the fuse box, and called it done. Now i have to start the wiring of the ECU / Dash harness and cross my fingers that everything will fire off on the first try.
