Anyone know where I could find some DIY wiring harness info? Books or forums maybe? The harness on this 7.5 460 is almost completely gone thanks to rats.
You best bet might be a whole new aftermarket wiring harness.Anyone know where I could find some DIY wiring harness info? Books or forums maybe? The harness on this 7.5 460 is almost completely gone thanks to rats.
I haven't found any new ones anywhere. I have seen used ones for sale on ebay every now and then, but there's currently nothing listed.You best bet might be a whole new aftermarket wiring harness.
Depending on how common it is.
It all depends on the extent of your needs. I only recommended a complete new harness because i know most of the guys i know that build rat rods and such just order random cheap readily available harnesses and use those to make what they have already work.I haven't found any new ones anywhere.

I'm still a ways off from getting to that point yet but I thought I'd ask. I mean I'd like to get it running but I've got lots to do so I could just bump it to the bottom of the list. I've seen people wire a vehicle from the ground up and thought someone could recommend a book or something.
I guess I'll just get a good used harness.

There's not much left of the wiring from the firewall forward. The rats had at the wires for years before I bought the thing. Still happy about the price at any rate, $500 for the RV. Low mileage 460 backed by a 727 and it has a running generator.It all depends on the extent of your needs.

If the rats chewed a few dozen wires in one spot id just rewire it myself and not worry about a full swap
Damn. That's more than I paid for the whole thing. I'll try to get a used one, I've seen them in the $150-$200 range.
i was going to say the same thing(s)I would just buy the haynes manual and a few small rolls of wire and redo it myself. Cant be that many wires under there.plus you save tons of money while knowing its all new and done properly.
I've got a haynes manual for it somewhere (Econoline van) I've just missplaced it.I would just buy the haynes manual and a few small rolls of wire and redo it myself. Cant be that many wires under there.plus you save tons of money while knowing its all new and done properly.

Vehicle. It's still in the RV, which is based off of a Ford Econilone van. I'm keeping the engine, trans, front and rear end and most of the frame but ditching the body.lot easier said then done unless you know wtf your doing did it once never again took for ever to get it all working properly
to the person not sure what kind of harness you are looking for vehicle or motor alone ?? 460 so this came out of a truck i would look at truck forums or that year truck after market places etc like Year one
