hiding the wiring harness and wires within engine bay
Hey-
Ive often heard of hiding the wiring harness and wires within the engine bay, but where do you hide the wires? I mean.. you cant move the sensors to they hafta have some wires but other than that they hide em well...
where do you hide them?

my best guess is that they relocate where the engine harness pierces the firewall to under the intake manifold and by taking all of the necessary wires that have to be exposed and concealing them as best as possible by tucking and tape

Here are a couple of ideas, however, I'd have to question what it's all worth.
1. Relocate the battery to the rear.
2. Relocate the engine compartment fuse block to under the dash. This may require making the glove box a "fake".
3. Run the engine compartment through the firewall behind the engine, below the intake manifold.
4. It's an old street rod trick to "cover" any electrical wires that would be seen by putting them through a section of stainless steel tube. This requires that you remove the pins from the factory connector, slide the wires through the tube, and then put the pins back into the connectors.
The big thing in my mind is that electrical wiring should not look like it was added as an "after-thought" and shouldn't visually distract from the engine.
Go by a Harley choper shop and look how they do wiring and you will get an idea of what I'm talking about. It's all about the engine and nothing should distract from that.
