Quote: Wowsers! I guessed that the wiring harness would be the stickler. I was planning to keep the std. tranny in my Rampage and marry it to the 2.2L turbo. The donor car has a bad auto trans. I like having a stick anyway. There are about 5 mid-80's K-car LeBaron's w/2.2 turbo at the local junk yd. right now. Would any of there wiring harness work as long as they are pre-87?
Your rampage transmission will not take any amount of abuse. They were designed with 100hp in mind. IMO stock T1 power - 140hp/170ft-lbs would already be pushing on to it's max limit and/or beyond. The only harness that's going to be plug and play will be one from a 87 shelby charger. A 85-86 shelby charger harness can be made to work with a few wiring mods to change it from log intake T1 to T2.
