Are you going to loom or tape the wires that run into the engine bay? If so what are you going to use?

I used heat shrink on all the wires and hid as much of them as I could, I will post a picture a little later.

Thanks Keith, I'm just curious because I'm getting ready to rewire my truck. Love your craftsmanship and attention to detail on these trucks.

Wow! Thats a clean engine bay!

I've been following along on Instagram. Glad to see you posted up this thread. In for another killer build. I'm glad to see the LS platform powerplant too. It will be a pleasure for you to drive I'm sure.

I was curious what motor mounts you are using?
