Awesome job and nice write-up/pictures. I'm too impatient to stop and take pictures during a big job.

Just used the harness off my NA 5.4. All the hook-ups are the same, and the sensors on the L motor that arent on the normal motor the PCM doesnt know what to do with anyway, so it doesnt matter. All I had to do was extend the IAC by about a foot.

thanks for your comments guys!
