[QUOTE="Slowings, post: 16932877, member: 186367"] Hello. I recently purchased a refreshed engine and transmission locally from an 03/04 cobra. I have the following parts aside from those: Heat exchanger and bracket Intercooler hardliners Aftermarket IC pump 03/04 engine harness I also have an 03/04 tank and pumps. I have a couple questions, but they aren’t all related, so going to number them, and spares me needing to make any other posts about the same thing. 1: I’ve heard if I don’t have an 03/04 cluster ecu pcm etc, it is more than possible to retain all my stock 01 wiring/cluster. I am running into the hiccup where I have both the 03/04 and 01 harness next to each other and I am trying to realize what the differences are, but I don’t have a wiring diagram to see exactly what sensors are what, and what will need extending/what I can go without. Has anyone here done the swap and kept their 01 harness that would allow me to pick their brain? It would be really cool if I could just talk to someone that’s got the experience in this since I got this far without doing the cluster/ecu/pcm swap I don’t want to get into that now. 2: I have the whole nest of vacuum lines for the 03/04 but I don’t have the slightest clue of where they are supposed to be routed, I imagine there’s got to be a thread for this but I cannot for the life of me find it. I’ve searched svtp and Facebook groups. Does anyone have this book marked or something that can share the link with me. 3: is the 03/04 tank necessary? I have been doing this swap in my spare time for months, and I am burning summer away, I want to get the car running and experience it before this winter, so if I can keep with my stock 01 tank that would be perfect, but I’m unsure if I am able to with the fuel that the new engine will be needing.
