    The second one is like impossible ha. I have no idea how that guy keeps it like that. I think the first one actually looks pretty decent too.

    black wire loom may blend in better with your black car. That blue loom stands out like crazy in the first pick.

    Run your wires on the outside of your inner fenders.

    X2 I'm sure whomever owns the second car extended all of the wires. Like stated above, you'll have to run them through the firewall or wiper cowl and the inner fenders. Not as hard as you think, just time consuming. I went carbed, eliminated 90% of the wires you want hidden.

    I think the black wire loom should work okay for you Mike, With everything else being black it should hide it well. I went chrome with mine. I need to update my pics. I have ceramic headers now and black plug wires now.

    I was going to because I thought to get the power output I wanted I would have to go that extreme, but now that my car is running the correct way and I see what a well tuned 302 can do, I think for my goals a 393 is gonna be too much(I know there is no such thing) but a well built 347 on spray will be plenty
