Yes, absolutely. No problem.
About the only time we could not use a core harness is if the wiring is missing so much, we cannot tell what length it was supposed to be or what connector is supposed to be on the end.
In this case, we know what connector, and how long it's supposed to be anyway.
Remember - about 8" past the firewall grommet on the engine side is where we cut in our connectors. Everything further forward than that will be NEW. Everything rear of that point will be as-is.

We just discovered that our sample 951 engine wiring harness has been previously altered by the PO - so I don't trust it as an accurate model.
I need a used 951 engine wiring harness now... it can be in "not great" condition, so long as we are able to tell the wire lengths and what the connectors are. It can have broken connectors, bad and cracked insulation - any of that is OK.

Because I'm sick of having things not working perfectly and my car has no o2 sensor:
WTB: Early 944 harness compatible with this remanufacturing. Must be for model with o2 sensor connector (single wire).

Best advice, being that you are a paying member, is this; take a look and make a post in the WTB and for sale section of RL. Guys, who actually race 944's, often discard the original harness, for a reasonable price. That's a good place to get a solid harness from someone who likely isn't out to screw you and is a "Porsche community" type of guy.

Still have not found a 1987 951 wiring harness that we can rely on as a good sample.
I could also go with a good used 1986 951 if I found one....
Anybody got a cracked or old one to share? This is what's holding us up.
