The rest I did not need to extend except for the 02 sensor. rather than mess with the oem shielded o2 sensor wires in the engine harness, I made an o2 harness extension that plugs into the engine harnes on one end, and the o2 sensor on the other end. I would recommend not changing any of the wires that use the factory shielding. That would be the o2 sensor wiring & distributor. Anything else you can add a little if you need to.


Thanks for the info, will be taking out my motor in a few weeks to do this, trying to get some tools to shave the bay also, will post up progress

The 2 for the rear I re-used the original. The front 2 are new line, as are the 2 lines from the MC to the proportioning valve.

I enlarged the firewall hole from the heatercore and ran everything through there.
