What if i drove the car to you (LS teg). Obviously the motor would be in it. So would that be 500 -600?

I wouldnt come to you. haha.

If you bring the car by well talk. like i said it depends on what material you want to go with.

To do it right you will need to depin the connecors to get the right size sleeves over it as well to keep it as clean as possible. plus well talk about where everything will go or if you want to leave it to us.

Wires are no problem at all yet its easy for someone to mess it up.

There is Heat Shrink Tubing much as the Raychem tubing used by most. Or there is a cheaper route with the wire loom which still remains clean if done right. But to have the car at its peak would be to pull the motor and tuck whats on the motor then tuck everything else according to that.

haha anyone who says they can do a complete wire tuck THE RIGHT WAY for that much (engine harness, fuesbox, battry, head light harness, all labeled using raychem dr-25 shrink wrap, and tefzel wire) isnt doing it the right way, but believe who u want. for the op i wouldnt turst anyone to do a wire tuck unless they have completly rewired said car from scratch.

Why are you bothering with Tefzel? Why not just use TXL? It's cheaper and so much easier to work with in a street car, and it comes in a lot more colors. Also, you've got Tefzel wire and an Amphenol circ connector but junky Deutsch DPT connectors. What is this, a commercial truck? You're killing me here..
