Any reason I shouldn't move the wiring harness to run behind engine?

Those harness kits seem like a lot of money to me what are you actually paying for cost wise a dollar an inch for wire you can buy dirt cheap anywhere as far as messing it up hey the more you fool with something the more you will understand it. nice job xp snake that's neat work

 

I really like where you mounted the msd box it looks factory.

 

If you guys haven't ever built a full wire harness, it can be an adventure. I used to build wire harnesses for boats, electric motorbikes, and various military applications. It can be a real headache the first time you try and assemble one of these giant spaghetti monsters.

Do yourself a favor if you go the route of building your own, get a BIG piece of plywood, a box of nails, and a big sheet of paper. DRAW out the lengths you need for each part, use the box of nails for routing and hanging your connectors. It's a big help and how they do it in the factory to begin with.

 

Nice pictures!!!

 

This is the harness I bought to wire my Lincoln. It has GM connectors for the steering column, but with a little work you could swap it out to Ford connectors. Seems to be good quality wire, each one is labeled every six inches.

Look at the installation instructions to see how easy it is to install.

 

I bought a fuse box at autozone and fed it switched power from the 12 volt stud on the original fuse box. I use the new box to run all my add ons and my pertronix... cost me about $20 bucks, has been working great for two years now...

 

this is what I got for my money...
nothing spliced from headlights to tail lights...
