ok so i did a 2.8 to 350 swap i had it running and everything and all of a sudden it stopped i found a wire had broke going to the starter so the car didnt have power it had broke just after the fusible link, i went to 6 different places and noone had a fusible link so i put an inline fuse in and it blew a 20a 30a and 40a, then i was told just to baybass the link and take it completely out so i did that and all i heard was sparking at the starter from what i can see no wires are touching and the starter is on the block tight so its grounded the fuse blows as soon as i attach the battery wire to the battery and then it blows so im confused anyone have ideas?

thank you

 

Anyone?

 

review your wire layout make sure you refer to the 350 wiring diagram as well as the 2.8 to make sure you did the swap correctly...

 

if you're blowing fuses, never bypass. you first need to start by figuring out where that wire goes and why its blowing links and fuses. if there's a short somewhere and you get rid of the circuit's protection (the fuse/link), you could cause some serious damage to the vehicle.

 

the link was still good just the wire broke cuz it was running no problem time and time before, but i couldnt find a link anywhere so i added in an inline fuse wit a 40amp but i read on TGO that if you replace it with a fuse u need to add up all the electronics (lights gauges etc) to get the fuse amp but i have no clue what that would be lol i ended up finding a donor car and took the link out of that im gonna try that if that doesnt work...i guess ill be making a harness over the winter...

 

UPDATE: PROBLEM FIXED ADDED THE FUSIBLE LINK BACK IN CAR FIRES RUNS AND ALL LIGHTS WORK AGAIN
