Can you provide at least some details of the wire tuck? I'm interested in finding out where you placed the fuse box etc. How did you run the headlight wiring and the starter wiring? What about the ABS unit?

I keep coming back to look...amazing engine bay.

Chris

p.s. NEVERMIND I just noticed your ABS unit is still there...but still want info about the other stuff I asked :D

No problemo A complete new wiring harness has been constructed to allow for the relocation of the fuse box, ecu and ignition and all the wiring is hidden inside the quarter pannel and frame.
In order from left - ECU - Ignition - Fuse box - new wiring lume exeting the fire wall and hidden inside the pannel.

O, Great now Chris is going to make something crazy again! Looks like Esmeril should be selling exhaust to! I for one know Chris is holding out on some crazy stuff he knows about. Its just he spends most of his time at that stupid place called a job. Get with it Chris and put products out already....

This is a great build can't wait to see how it looks in motion!

Perfect - I was looking for this pic. I'm thinking of routing my wire bundle like this on the new engine. I needed to know if it was a clear path. Is it clear on the under side of the fender also? No cutting required?

GOOD Luck with that..the OEM harness is way too short to route through there.....that is all aftermarket wiring harness...

Never say never

I looked at this all weekend long. It looks doable. There is enough slack for the MAF and master cylinder I believe.

You would need to do a lot...the fuse box won't fit through any of the holes So you would have to remove all the wires...feed them and then re-assemble the fuse box...a daunting job...Plus there is almost no wiggle room..I have had them all apart and there is less than 1" slack on most of the big stuff...it has to cross the front and that harness is really tight

Not moving the fuse box, just the wire bundle. EDIT: OK, I see what you mean now... bummer.

GRUMP8 moved everything this side of the equator it seems
