it's $150 to have a stock harness extended by srswap.com

I could only imagine how hard it would be to figure it all out without the connectors (i.e. harness comes incomplete) or how much of a PITA it would be to extend the harness yourself (and be SURE that it won't fall apart on you)

the best deals I have found here in North Carolina would be EP Racing in Goldsboro, they have a european source that is bringing in blacktops in for them at reasonable prices for quality full swaps, give Glenn a call at 919-759-0210, they should have a couple coming in within the month. Any other SR parts they can probably get as well, just let him know what you are looking for and they will find it for you (ECU's, turbos, etc)

thank you justified...thats the kinda answer im expecting. i know that i shouldnt go the cheap way bc it might not have it all....im talkin about a full engine with the harness etc....i remember lookin at alot of sites awhile back with $1200 full motors and im sure someone has got it from them. i also say many other sources besides the regular unstable, srswap....so if this clears anything up im still wondering..

by reasonable, not necessarily cheap, but decent prices and you should recieve everything you need plus install if you want them to do it for you. They are doing my car towards the end of the summer when I can go without the car for a bit. I will let everyone know how it works out and have pics of the install once finished.
