I would do expandable sleeving instead of wire loom. More time involved but well worth the outcome. I'll shoot some pics tommorow morning of what I am talking about.
I have actually been thinking about this. I would love to see this....

i did that a few months ago..

heres a pic from back then..




... and about the painting the fuse box and heat shield shiny black.. good idea.. deffinately better than the flat black.. i may look into that..

as far as the oil breather filter goes, i am NOT doing that.. after talking to a guy at work and researching it more.. i am most likely just going to do the one that everyone is doing in that thread in the 4.6 section.. i forgot the name of the can, but its welded, and most are using steel braided hose.. i will most likely be doing that..

It's not that braided hose kind, its a lot cheaper and just an alternative to using split wire loom. I have to go drive a few hours but hopefully tommorow If I forget pm me about. Sorry about flaking on this one.

I took some ****ty phone pictures tell you what I was talking about. Like I said a cheaper and better looking alternative to plastic loom. However it takes much more time because it is not split tubing.





and the 4.0l next to the beast.



I am going to be hiding every wire under that hood eventually. I have to wait for a little money to pick up an extra harness, new battery and build myself a battery box for the trunk. That way when I swap out for the 5.4L down the road.... haha its all good to go.
