Icon2 Jap spec engine vs. US spec engine

I have a 1997 Honda Prelude SH. She's in the process of having her motor bay gutted and revamped, to say the least. However, I've come upon an issue I could use some assistance with. I'm ordering an engine block (OEM factory setup <60k miles) that is coming to me straight from Japan. The engine is set up for right-hand drive, which is obviously not what we use here. I'm told that in order to convert it to left-hand drive that I would need to extend the wiring harness, as it isn't suited to reach. Is there anywhere I can buy an extender rather than do the splicing myself? I don't feel comfortable messing with it, personally.
