Alright guys I’m gearing up to do an l31 engine swap in my 86 k5. It’s gonna be bolted up to a 700r4 and has to be commie legal as I live in CA. This means since I’m swapping to a new engine it will be required to have all the same smog equipment as the engine out of the donor vehicle. Which should be fine. My problem mostly lies in the wiring harness and making everything work with the 700r4. On a budget right now so 4l60e isn’t an option. My understanding is to make this motor work with this tranny I will need to somehow make the tv cable from the 700r4 work with the throttle. To do this I plan on buying a tv cable with extra length and using one of those wire clamps to adjust it on my throttle. I Will be tapping something into the side of the throttle for the cable to run through with the adjuster on the other side. Will this work? Theoretically it seems possible, right? I also understand I will need to have my ecm flashed into thinking it’s a manual transmission and for gauges I’m planning on running aftermarket gauges fixed to diamond playing which will make up my dash. Hsd anyone else had experience with a swap like this? I’m trying to prepare myself for everything and have as much as possible set up and ready. What do you guys think? Will this work? Am I missing anything?
