Hey guys,

Going to look at a 1996 belano tomorrow. Ill just be using it for the engine and loom to do the engine conversion on my 89 sierra. Ill be using the benT kit.

My question is will the loom be ok to use once I cut away the parts I don't need? Wasn't to sure if I needed a specific loom from a certain car

For $300 for the entire car I think it's a great deal and will at least let me get the conversion started.

Cheers
Aaron

Try using the search function, there are a few recent threads covering what you need to do to make it work. I can't seem to post the links off my phone.

You'll have to relocate the coils as the firewall will be there and you'll also have to reroute the water hoses but I can't see why you can't use this motor
