I design professional mounting and equipment brackets. I access an in-house company machine shop. I can often do some personal stuff i need depending if they are busy or not. But often, they let me.

Fresh top-end on a solid (for now) engine that I can't run because of all these junky parts. I haven't decided if I'm going to crush my truck or get it sold to my worst enemy.

I'll take it...how much

You found the connectors needed for an extension harness?

Your relocation project looks great.

You still got it looking great man. Ready to see the finished outcome. Might have to get you to make me that custom bracket set up so I can do the same. I was thinking, you might be able to get a elbow and use on of the intake bolts to use as a wire router over that and keep it away from the alternator.

Thanks,
Got the wire properly routed towards the other side. The wire clips originally installed at the back of the engine, 2 of them was reused. The wires crossing the alternator is not touching it. The bolt that holds the plastic cover right next to the alternator will be used to secure the other clip. It looks straight across the engine now and its looking neat. Im almost there, the last clips tracking just arrived somewhere in US. Cheers

Thank you. I'm almost there at the final stages. Im not sure if I can reach the connectors from the back of the engine but I have to just to make sure I'll be able to trace the right wires to extend it. Thanks again

i got big hand and can reach them barely behind mind but I'm thinking since you have the coild packs disconnected, you should be able to get to them easy enough if you are lucky enough to have em wired the first time. Got my fingers crossed for ya

The last clip for harness just arrived in US so its just few days to make it happen. Almost there. Wires are all measured up already and extended to all points of connection. Plug and play. I'm hoping.
