What I do is make a new engine wiring harness, using the connectors off the 911 engine, all new wires, and then heat shrink it all, with a very OEM finished look.
I've made five engine harnesses like this, three for in house conversion projects, and two for other guys, who wanted a "plug and play" harness. PM me if this is what you are looking for. You plug the harness into all of the connections on the engine, install the engine, and then plug the male and female 14 pin connectors together. Clean and neat, factory appearance, no problems with old wires, etc. All of these were for engines that had internally regulated alternators though, so if you've got a externally regulated alternator, then you may want to retain the relay board, or provide for a different kind of voltage regulator. Deleting the relay board cleans up the engine bay, as well as making access to the oil filter much easier. I'll have to search my pics to see if I've got any detail from the last project I did. |
