96 Hardbody LS swap
I have a 96 nissan reg cab truck inthe garage that needs an engine. I got it to put a used 2.4 in there and call it a DD. Only problem is I can buy a LS engine for what that 2.4 will cost me and my hotrodding roots are pulling me to do a LS swap. 
Any info or advice...

Wanna know the secrets to the wiring??
All pink wires go to a fused ign source.
All orange wires go to 12v+
All black wires go to ground.
Bigest purple wire in the harness is your starter wire.
Flash in a tune and turn security off.
Fire it up and go have fun.
I sent you my number. Ive done a few harnesses and they are really simple. Dont let it scare you.

Oh the first harness i did only took 5 hours. Had jumper wires goin everywhere, got it fired up and hooked one wire up at a time. Vola!!
It was a 05 engine/harness we put in a 95 rcsb chevy. It was fun.

It is easy.
It only took me a week of reading diagrams and trying it that weekend.
Take the engine/trans connector off the fuse box. All the wires you need are right there. Just pull them out of the big connector and get to work.
Theres a (edit) green/white or yellow wire that you need along with 12 volts and a ground to run to an OBD2 port. Vola!!
On my samurai, i ran a cat5 cable thru the firewall and connected it to positive , Ground, and the serial data wire from the pcm.
Put a rj45 connector on the end and i can plug in my EFI Live or scan gauge. Works lime a charm.
