It is sitting in the shops back parking lot.....dead.
what else electrical and harness wise would have to come off the dead 98 engine. I just kind of assumed it would be like switching out a long block.

I think... we can sum it up
you can unplug the electrical connections from the engine/trans on 96-00 trucks and just swap the engine + trans over. no problem.
there are 2 large wiring harness in the truck
1. engine wire harness, goes thru the firewall on the drinkers side and hooks up to the ECU behind the glove box.
2. body wire harness, goes thru the fire wall on the captains side and hooks up to the body fuse box on the lower left.
These wire harness do not just swap around between years (99,00 are the same) other years not the same.
you will have to swap over injectors from ded truck hopefully not toasted?

brings up a good point, if either of these trucks are cali emission( have 2x cats ) the headers are different and the auto trans dipstick is also different on cali trucks to clearance those headers and downpipe. so... hopefully both trucks are federal or cali but not mismatched.
your good I think, just don't mix and match wire harness.
