search for it man. its a quite often asked question. wiring they wont make just a harness. youll either have to custom wire it, or pay someone to do it. that is if you want it to be wired right and have everything actually work. new front engine crossmember is a must with the newer motor mounts. tranny crossmember. stiffer front springs and bigger axle (unless its a 1 ton) and all that junk plus more
