These guys want $800 and your stock harness.
The Painless harness is reportedly $1,000.
I still can't seem to find reliable info on the Mopar Performance one.

Why can't somebody just make a simple harness for these engines? They've been out for 17 years!!! M.P. should have had a conversion harness available in 1993 but dropped the ball in my opinion. I want a harness that allows me to buy a wrecked whatever and use all the sensors/computer/etc off the original engine but eliminates the things a street rod doesn't need. Is that asking too much?

For the tiny demand as that harness has, yes it is asking for an awful lot.

MP does sell it, the part number is P5153687, and similar to the others, it's got a retail price of $872. Must be used with obd2.

I think it's one of those "if you build it, they will come" pieces. the beer barrel intake is pretty cool looking, especially all polished up, that if there had been a reasonably priced harness on the market in the 90's (along with a computer that was programmable for minor mods like headers, different cam, etc), that EFI swaps into older mopars & street rods using magnum engines would be very popular.

you could talk to www.customefis.com and see if he could build you one to use a flexible (programming wise) GM TPI computer....

or talk to board member jerry about building you a harness and megasquirt controller.

That's my point exactly. In my (usually useless) opinion, M.P. should have been all over this as soon as the Magnums came out. They could have built different "Stage" kits that piggybacked on the basic swap.
Stage I bone stock engine.
Stage II Hopped up MP computer
Stage III MP computer and MP cam
Stage IV MP comp, MP cam and MP heads etc.
You get the base level business and then offer upgrades so the customer returns to you in the future.

Again, I think this is what they should have done. Now they should probably focus more on the Hemi swaps I guess.

Thanks Ron!!!
I e-mailed him to ask a few specific questions. Looks like exactly what MP should have come out with. Truth be told it probably is the same principle. He's eliminating the unneeded wires from a used factory harness and MP is just building a new one without the extra wires. Call me a cheapo but that harness isn't worth $700+. I bought an engine harness for a Nissan from the dealer just the other day. Granted it was about 1/4 of the wiring/plugs involved in the MP harness but it only cost me $37.00. No special pricing, just a guy in off the street.

I applaud the E-bay guy for doing what I was contemplating. Getting a factory manual and figuring out what wires are not needed for a stand-alone set-up. Kudos to him and his "rodders attitude".

Cheeto i have been looking for the same thing.I have decided to use a carb on my 360 Magnum in my 1934 Plymouth coupe.I would like to convert back to efi some day so i am keeping the original intake and sensors.I did not get the harness or computor with my engine so i would have to get those first before contacting the guy on ebay.Street and Performance in Mena Ark also sells a harnes but the guy from Hotwire told me he is the one who makes them.Street and Performance told me to buy a newer Hemi and not to buy the Magnum.I guess he thought i was rich.

Ok, I am also in need of a harness for this motor below. Just bought it 5.7 HEMI for the 38 Plymouth business coupe. I am going to do what Ron suggested and contact the guy. However, I have no original harness, so I am thinking I am screwed. We shall see.

It was sold of prior to be buying the motor. I will figure osmething out. At least now I have the motor and once it shome I can use it to moch up thechassis.

The same company makes a stand alone for $499.00 I guess that means no core needed but I will await a response from the,

Sorry to chime in so late on this. Could someone direct me to the seller on ebay that modifies the factory magnum harnesses. I searched and can't find anything. Thanks

I believe that hotwire makes the S&P wiring kit, but at $700.-$800. compared to the $200. from the ebay guy looks much better to me.
I have 2 stock harness's that I would like to have reworked.

SSOOOO if anyone has the ebay guy's contact info PLEASE post it again...... Ron....

Did anyone ever user the ebay harness?
What does it take to use this?

I finally got the painless setup to work on the 5.9, but it was way more expensive.
Plus they aren't planning on selling it now.

Count me in on interested people in such a harness. I am having nightmares thinking of the mess of graftint 2 harness myself.
I looked and teh guys item number was "unavailable" due to age of poast on Ebay.
Can someone PM me this info? I have a complete harness here from a 94 Dakota' I'd rather stay with OBD-I since I have no intent of running cats on the car this engine is planned for. (OBD-II requires it because of the after cat O2 sensor)
