Fuel injection harness final wrapped and installed
Crankshaft and Camshaft sensor harness also installed

These are 98-01 style 5.0 injectors, 19# along with the returnless style fuel rail. This will work well with our 07 Ranger style fuel system




crank and cam 5.0 sensors along with their appropriate pigtails.
Wired per Holley chart (and my notes like these)



Now it is time to wire in the Ignition (coil pack) wires. They get integrated into the Holley main harness

per the chart from earlier








These wires get pinned into the Holley PCM connector P1B here



Pull out the white plastic spacers, and add the wires to designated pin locations per chart.
Also you must release the white lock, this will allow pins to slide in and out of connector



press here


unlocked






Ignition coil driver wires going in pins 15-17 and 21-24
Pin 14 is ground distribution from PCM, three wires get combined here






All wires added now, grounds combined
Coil pack wiring integrated!




Now main harness can be installed back into the truck for final time. It slides right in on the passenger side above the header and behind the trans dipstick




wiring laid out over engine, time to clean a bunch of 5.0 parts

meanwhile I need to sort out the power steering line and fuel lines

EGR is being deleted, however I still need a vacuum feed for the fuel damper. Modified factory parts work perfectly here


Here is where the injector and cam/crank sensor harness plugs


Test fitting the intake plenum and spacer







more details from the cam and crank sensor wiring harness from earlier

It should not be exposed to the elements directly, I was tempted to mount it in the stock 07 location which is in the firewall and exposed to the elements! It can get wet but they want you to angle it down so the connectors drop water off.. this would not work for me I wanted to put it under the hood in the stock location but mount it so you could see the lights wiring this would be very difficult
later I decided the center console or under the dash is its natural home, the 2007 Ranger has way different holes in the firewall, not like the 95-04 trucks I am used to........

I have spent much time with the Holley system trying different routing.
I have left the map and knock sensor plugs in place in an effort to leave things stock(ish)
It could be further streamlined by removing un used connectors
Who knows what kind of mods may come in the future.

I still have more to cover working through these pictures
The fuel line has been sorted out, and I believe I have a power steering line that will work , again the 07 is different then the earlier Rangers/Tracs
The IAC, TPS, CTS, and IAT sensors will be wired when the intake is installed.
I have a plug for the Torque Monster EGR bung on the way. It is a 22mm 1.25 pitch stainless drain plug
The hole in the intake plenum will get a simple block off plate.

All parts are cleaned, some are being painted. I have everything I need to complete the engine
Working through small things like oil pressure, fuel pressure and trans line pressure port locations is also happening.
Once the engine bay is complete the real wiring will begin, the truck side of things.
I have many electronics to install, enough to warrant the addition of a fuse/relay box of some sort

accessory brackets going in, needed to test fit PS pump to sort out the high pressure line

You can see the Holley coil drivers we will be using to emulate the stock DIS, waste spark, coil pack ignition
These may very well end up being mounted on the underside of the coil tower tripod










Heater bypass hose installed, these are "cut to fit" these days, here is how I do it for a perfect fit






trace the factory hose, makes perfect replica, trim in correct spots.
I use vaseline inside the hose on both ends, put it half way on thermostat housing, half way on water pump and then press.... can even be done in the truck this way on the side of the highway, covered in coolant..... don't ask! Any long time 5.0 owner knows what I mean
