Hey guys, so I’ve got a GenIII 5.3 sitting in my 92 740 turbo wagon. Next on the list is plumbing the coolant system, modding a wiring harness, getting fuel to it, and a custom driveshaft and exhaust.
So what is everyone running to get fuel to the LS transplants? I see a lot of swaps use the corvette FPR as sort of a returnless system. Is there any chance to set it up inline under the car and use the Volvo pump? Or will I need to use an aftermarket unit like a Walbro?
With the wiring, my plan is to use the LT1swap wiring tutorial to create a standalone type harness to run the engine. What do I need to integrate out of the 740 harness to keep any functionalities? I know the coolant sensor will need to be there to run the gauge on the dash, but is there anything else? Will I need to keep a Volvo ECU and EZK in the vehicle for any reason? I thought I saw a thread where a guy was unpinning stuff at the ECU harness and removing it from the engine bay.
Any help or direction would be great, I’ve read and read on this stuff for years but sometimes it’s best to get direct information from someone with firsthand knowledge and experience.
