So been trying to find a renix and h.o pinnout for the big square conector going thru the fire wall. That and trying to get the damn thing apart.

Looks like every thing bolts up the same as far as engine and trans. So that parts no head ake.

Why not just use your Renix manifolds/sensors/ECU etc?

I would love too. But how do i get a aw4 to work on a 5 speed harness? I just got done pulling the h.o harness and everything is in one big harness.

So if any one can help with info on that would be KILLER. The above links show how to tap into the harness to controll the trans gears and lock up. Very handy but im not quite there yet.

For now i trudge on.

I shall get in and look. If those plugs are in there ill be estactic. Because that would save a bunch of time.

I noticed today my hoe looks to have a header on it. Its split 3/3 then two pipes to a collector then on down to the pipe with the o2 in it. Figure i may run that. Seems to be the crack free. Only deal tho. Is the fit up of hoe manfolds on a renix head. I think i wanna shave it have it refreshed and put it on this block. Sorry for the rambling.
