There are a couple minor differences in the harness (or loom if you're British) - really minor. You'll need the starter and solenoid and connectors, etc.

During my rebuild of my 400, I actually used an S model harness from I think a '77, oh honestly I don't remember what year, but I made it work with parts from the D model.

My point is: if *I* can do it, anyone can...
