i got mine from g speed too, took 3 days wiring, 2 days installing, (i work). it is probally the easiest swap on the face of the planet except maybe stock to stock. which he bought the soarer clip, like i did, so it was the easiest, check my post for the simple temp, tach and speedo fixes. everything that came out of the rhd went into mine except the a/c (doesnt work with hoses)

Do you remember how they were on your old engine? They just go back on the same way.
