That escalated quickly.
None of this needs to be in there.
That’s what ended up happening to my harness. The deeper I dug the more I found to replace. If I keep this truck, it’s getting a complete new harness.
Yup. Did the same thing to Deon’s k5.
I had a couple of minutes to work on the truck while paint dried on work stuff.
Fuel system is done.

What is with GM and their starter wires? This was on the new engine starter. I was going to reuse it.
Shortened and new lug soldered and crimped for a fix.
Probably more secure then the factory one would have been anyway.
What’s another 10 mins of work anyways at this point?
10 minutes? I wish.
15 or 20?
Spent 6 hours removing, rerouting and shielding wiring. Not sure I am making progress.
Back to stainless hardware...it's the devil!!! I had ARP stainless engine mount bolts for my 57 Pontiac. Got the engine in, threw the bolts through the mounts and spun the nuts on finger tight. Had to lift the engine out to change the pan later, tried to spin the nuts off the stainless bolts...instantly got tight, then galled, seized and needed to be removed with a death wheel FFS. Lesson learned!!
18 Days left before I leave. If it is not running by Saturday, I am punting it down the road and taking one of the Corvettes.
2 wires under the dash still need connected. One I have to have the battery in to make sure it switches correctly. The only wires left are the main power from the battery and the runs to the fan. Have to get the front end back together first.
Mount the coil packs and make plug wires.
Power steering lines and cooler installed.
Mount fan and connect those wires.
Figure out radiator hoses.
Do not pay attention to the extra relay wires. Those are for future use. I have a fuse and relay panel under the dash that will get removed in the future.
The blue wire is the PWM wire for the fan.
Anyone want to take a guess on how many times I hit my head on these 2 brackets?

At least 20 times, never fails something like that you always bonk your noggin
I liked having the power block that came with the engine. Made feeding power easy. One wire from the positive on the battery to the block.
With all of this room, this was the only place I could mount the coil packs.
Have to put cable clamps in and make the spark plug end of the wires.

Finished the last 2 plug wires. It goes so much faster when my hands are fresh. I was struggling last night to do them.
