Did u use DSM non-turbo or turbo pressure plate ?
2nd gen DSM head ?
starion link I posted detailed; taking the water out the front of the head, and using
2ng gen cam(head) + crank(block) sensors, to avoid firewall molesting or motor move foward
Yes, I used a DSM 7 Bolt. I followed DroppedMitsu's direction and used the flywheel and pressure that came out of the same DSM (yes, turbo) that the engine came out of. I used the 2g head that came on that motor as well, never took it off as I saw no reason to do so.

Were I to do the swap again, I would definitely look into making the water and sensors accessible from the front like you're saying. Not because firewall modification is difficult, but because it's a huge pain when you realize you never put a thermostat in the engine and have to reach around back there while installing it If I ever pull the engine again, I'll probably do that.

About this part, yes this SHOULD be kept in the truck, it is NOT recommended to remove it and I did not say that in the original post. You should however remove the truck ENGINE harness, which is separate from the chassis harness(headlights, turn signals, etc.)
My mistake, I didn't even realize the Mighty Max engine harness disconnected from the rest of it. Or did you just cut out the engine related parts?
