So I found a junkyard car that I'm going to pull my non turbo 1g engine from. 169k miles. The car doesn't have a lot of body damage so I'm hoping the engine isn't the reason it's at a junk yard.

It looks good from the outside. I'm going to check the timing belt, oil for metal shavings, and potentially lower end bearings when I pull the engine.

Anyways, this will be my first project where I need a new wire harness. Does anyone have experience pulling the wire harness from a car? Anything to watch for?

Can I pull the engine harness and car harness without removing the dash? (Junkyard car so I can tear it up)

Also, it's a 1g Plymouth rs. Anyone want any parts off the car while I'm there?

I've been thinking about doing something like this for a while now. My plan was to acquire a buggy frame without an engine and build from that so that the 4G63 engine and transmission would bolt up. I'm not a master fabricator so that would be my work around. A friend of mine did something similar with a Honda B series engine and it was a blast.
