Hi Guys,

I've bumped a few old threads in my quest for answers, but I though I would start a new one.

My old man has a 99 TH Exec, car is 3.0l auto and getting tired after 350+ks.
I picked up a complete rear ended TJII 2003, car has drivers SRS airbag, cruise control, ABS, its 3.5l with tiptronic 4 speed.

I'm looking to swap engine and box over at a minimum, but ideally I would like to have the ABS and cruise control, as well.

At the moment I have the engine pulled from the TJ, with a view to swap over into TH this long weekend.
I would like to avoid running the 3.5 with the 3.0l ecu as I want the best fuel economy out of this thing possible.

My current plan was to swap the engine and the complete engine harness that runs through the firewall along with ECU and whatever else it was connected to.

Swap entire steering column and then plug in the BEM (black box drivers side near the key yea?) so I'm using a matching key, BEM and ecu.

Can anyone give me some pointers on if my plan is OK, or potential better ways to go about it?

I should add I've done engine swaps before such as my HJ '94 Galant, with a halfcut and converted the car to 6A12TT, and spliced in my 6a12 cruise control into the engine loom.

Engine has been swapped. I used the TJ engine loom and ECU/BEM and key.

Runs ok, have yet to test drive. But there is a "Security" green light that flashes for about 10 seconds when started. Is this an issue? I put the tip tronic shifter in as well, but yet to test drive.

I can confirm that the TH loom does not have a cruise control plug...so that sucks, i will just forget about that for now.
Further the TJ has the oil pressure light connected to the body loom...but the TH has it connected into the loom, so i got no oil light.
