I need to run more wires from the engine into the interior of the car and I wondered how other people did this. Right now I have a hole that I drilled into the firewall that my wires are running thru. If I wanted to run more wires thru that hole I would have to take all the wires out of there and make the hole bigger and I really don't feel like doing that. Thanks, Matt
Ive run some from engine compartment up into the 'C' pillar into the corner of pass compartment. then ran them up the ceiling, door sill or center console as needed.

I ran all my starter immobilizer, and fog light wires through my front firewall without even drilling a hole. I took out the metal plate that covered up the clutch pedal hole, and run them through there. I run the wires underneath the car along the heater core pipes, then up behind the heat sheilds to the engine compartment. Alot more wiring, but I drilled no holes at all.
Rather easy on mine since we deleted the computer when the V-8 went in it. Plenty of room. I don't see why you couldn't dremel a small portion out of the plastic to make room for a few more.

Hey Tina how were able to delete the computer? I still have mine semi hooked up to run the gauges.
hi i recently ran wires , by drilling hole 3/4 inch in firewall,use grommit here, came out under rr speaker and rr shoulder, removed seat and consoles ran along back to where ecm is them straight to and under radio and out under dash, used wire ties and wire loom to protect every thing, reinstalled back seat wall panel and pulled back rug i had pulled forward, reinstall console and all trim, so now when you look you will not see any wires, even when you move pass seat, also use grommit in firewall and blacktape loom in engine bay to protect it, on a side note there is a metal oval sytle plug in the v6 automatics that you can pop out and use without having to drill in the front compartment...good luck....
