Yea wiring not fun. While doing it atleast but when your done with it it makes it totally worth all the hassel.

Yea figured I'd give it a shot I have 6 months to come up with something, if I mess up I can find a replacement or get the harness they make..I've always wanted a clean bay and I don't think it's just going to happen.
The plan as of now is to completely redo the "engine" harness and try to keep most of the "Chassis" harness intact with slight modification to make either location work. So here goes nothing I guess haha.

Yes mark, when can I grab it?

Forgot to even mention what I was doing I got so excited with tearing it all down. Anyway I am building a new engine from valve cover to oil pan with the block including Wiseco hd pistons and either Manley or Eagle Rods and suiting it with a bigger turbo. Along with that I will also be doing a full wire tuck and relocating the fuse box as mentioned above to whats now looking more like the center council.

I started to tear it down last week. Removed the Engine/ Trans, Both wiring harnesses, Dash and all interior.
I've been picking away at the engine harness a little bit each day. Heres where I am at now!

Started on the other harness tonight

Decided on the fuse box in the glove box. Got the interior "chassis" harness just about routed, will be finishing that up today and tomorrow. All the wires that are lengthened or shortened are reconnected using weatherproof butt connectors and no solder. This weekend I will put the dash back into the car. Pretty pumped on how it's turning out so far.

Pic is or the fuse box I'm glove box, still need to make a mounting bracket for it.

Well the harness is done until I can get the engine back in, I think it turned out looking awesome, now just hope it all works properly.
Measured the oil clearances and they are very tight, but within spec.
Picked up a new block as well thanks to John (pushit2.0). Smoothed out the oil galleys and de-burred it to all my tools could reach, thanks man!
Going to run ARP on the rods/ mains and head studs as well. Still debating the regular ARP, H11's or L19's. Also thinking of running a Kiggly HLA Pressure Regulator any opinions? (will be running lots of boost)
Will also be grabbing a 2g head from Tyler here soon.

I have run arp standard bolts to 30lbs and have have my l19's running around 42lbs with no problems. Kiggley is a great choice.

[mark4g63t]

More parts on the way. Along in the mix is the Kiggly HLA pressure regulator.

you do know the 2.4 water pipe is bent out to the radiator and not back like to the fire wall like the turbo water pipes.
