Doc is correct, as some items like altenator are on
opposite sides from 6 to 8. Something of interest here. Years ago a fellow
called who had bought a Rebel Machine for $16K. He loved the car and was
concerned about a few things on the car. So we talked and I told him to look at
the wiring harness and if had to, unravel it in the engine bay. He indicated
that it had been doctored, although professionally, still. I also told him to
look under the unibody framerails of the car, as the fuel line would be on
different sides from 6 to 8, and he discovered that there had been a fuel line
on the opposite side at one time. So after a little more snooping, he discovered
he had bought a rebodied Machine, so took it back to the consignemtn place and
asked for money back. Inistially they balked, but confronted with that the car
was not what it was, quickly took it back, and asked that the owner who had
consigned it, take it off lot. It later popped up on ebay where it sold for
$15K. i do not know what happened to it afterwards, nor if the new owner was as
nosy as the last one. Which reminds me of two quotes from Scooby Doo: "My
glasses! I can't see a thing without my glasses!!!" and "I would have gotten
away with it if not for you meddling teenagers!!!"

Doc, thanks for the reply. I assumed that I would need a completely
different harness for a V8. Being a novice in the eng swap area, I was
making a bigger deal out of it than was necessary. So that my limited mind
understands what you are saying; all I need to do is extend the wires to reach
the correct areas & not add additional wires to the bundle. How
simple! Now my old mind has to remember which wires went to what.

Not meaning to be hard on you but the wires needed to be extended or to
be modified in a V8 swap is a moot point unless you are looking for a
100 point show car. Even at that a nice modified wiring job V8
conversion could be made to look like factory? I must be too old and
doing this too long. Shoot ME!!!
