Talk to Sam at overkill. These are realy simple to wire if you have had any experiance wiring EFI. He should be able to handle it.

Yes it should be a relatively easy job- particulaly as you've got the entire loom and computer. I've done similar jobs before and it's just a matter of joining up the power sources (ignition switch, alternator, battery, coil etc) and all the earths.

Something I forgot- you'll need to get all your instruments hooked up to the new engine too.

Best way would be to try and use the old senders and fit then onto the new engine (water temp is probably the only one that really matters here otherwise you may get false readings). The oil pressure (if you've only got a warning light for both engines and not a pressure readout) should be OK without swapping senders. Tacho pickup point and compatibility could be a problem depending on the new engine's ignition system.

yeh both tacho and oil press guages are aftermarket anyway so i can wire them up easily, water temp shouldnt be too hard either

If you are using the 5 litre holden engine Marks have a interface harness that marries the Commodore V6/V8 into most conversions
If you were in Perth I would offer you one of mine
