6.9/7.3 N/A into a 76' 1/2 ton.

DD project, most likely will stay N/A. I can handle the suspension and swap but am curious what I will need to power the engine.

From what I remember I need a hot signal to the IP and thats it, other than the GP relay which I'll mount on a momentary switch. Anything else?

IP hot signal can come from the power-to-coil wire (as long as you don't have a "step down" wire, make sure it's a full 12 volts). I did a 6.9 swap into a 79 F150. It's pretty straight forward if you're mechanically inclined enough to do it.

Link?

I didn't make a write up for most of the work... just some pictures of how my engine mounts turned out and how I fit it in there. Gotta find it... hang on...

There ya go. I had a full donor truck, so I just ended up using the entire wiring harness out of the '84. Had to get creative with making the gauges work, but it all worked in the end.
