That is looking so sweet! Of course, by now, we all know the extremely high standard Chris holds himself to in everything he does. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

What did you use for the 12V pass throughs? They look so clean!

It's page 67 of the build so how about Episode 67 to match!

@jd74914 - Amphenol SurLok connectors. Available in a number of configs and amp ratings. They are very tidy and nicely scratched my OCD itch!

Locking too, even cooler than I thought, thank you! These look like they'd be pretty cool for someone who trades batteries between cars too.

Guess I've been out of the game too long, these look like they've been around a few years too. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

It may not look like it but that there wiring now has all the needed sensor wiring and is essentially ready to be sheathed. Then all the wires get pinned and connectors added.
After a LOT of time, I'm nearly there.

Old meets new: That's a Ferrari 360 injector bank "connector" that I cut off the factory harness. Then I worked out the needed length and added a Deutsch connetor.
The close-up shows how the Raychem SCL heat shrink tubing adhesive seals once it's recovered.

Are the exposed portions of the wires in a high heat environment?

@JeffBowlsby - Hey Jeff. No. In the case of the injector bank connector pictured, both those connectors will live under the intake plenum. The harness is supported by p-clamps that hold it off the inside of the intake manifold and I do all I can to route everything such that it's away from any high heat sources. If there's any question, that area gets wrapped in heat blanket and/or the source gets a shield.
Same approach as I used on the LS build and that's worked out well.

Awesome Chris...thank you for the response. Just wanted to be sure you were onto it.

Cylinders 8, 7, 6, 5 (left to right). The ignition and injection branches are coming together nicely. But, man, is this taking a lot longer than I'd have imagined.
That said, I do find it a very Zen process, once I'm in the zone.

You must be thinking the wiring will never be done. Me too! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Why yes, it is a 914. Why do you ask? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

The engine harness is nearly complete. Well, version 1 anyway...

@bkrantz - They do. But I wanted that space at the top / front of the engine for routing other stuff. Freedom to mount the electric means it's a bit simpler and tidier to plumb, too.

AC compressor is a common replacement for the stock water pump.

That looks a bit different from my Chevy small block. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
