After that it was time to put the remaining things back on. The 2.9 normally uses a viscous fan, but I don't really like that, so I put the electrical fans from the twincam on. I also put the front suspension and the exhaust back on. I also put the calipers back on and bled them, as I took them off to remove the front subframe.

As the loom, and fuel lines weren't done yet I towed the car home. At home I fitted the throttle and clutch cable and removed the DOHC loom.

The next day I started modifying the Granada loom to be fitted to the Sierra. The Granada uses 2 plugs and a relay behind the dash to connect the engine loom to the main loom.

In a Sierra (1990 model) there are no relays in the engine loom as they are all in the fuse box. That's why the Sierra has 3 instead of 3 plugs to connect the engine loom to the main loom. To mod the Granada loom I got a Sierra DOHC loom from the scrapyard.

Removed the tape and checked where all the wires need to go.

After that I cut the wires to the correct length and fitted them to the 3 Sierrra plugs.

When everything was connected I taped it back in to make a Sierra 2.9 loom (2.9 Sierras are very rare in Holland, otherwise I would have saved all the work and simply got an XR4x4 loom).
