Car has been running great since I did the engine swap so I’m happy.One issue I’ve been chasing is a parasitic battery drain. If you let the car sit for 3or 4 days; the battery went dead. I changed batteries, changed the alternator, and went through the harness but no luck. I ended up putting on a kill switch but decided to start over troubleshooting it. I finally found it! I bought this little alternator pigtail online and it came with a ring terminal on one wire that went to the battery terminal of alternator and the other wire went to ignition. I finally figured out they were switched and I had battery power constantly going to the ignition side. Switched them and problem solved! What a PIA!

Good thing to get squared away. These nuisance problems drive me batty so I get how you were feeling.
