I'm ready to wire engine bay-How could I clean up wiring using a stock block?I'm not sure if I want to run ac wires across the top lip.Any pics?

We used a brand new stock harness and every single wire was ran thru the back of the fenders, under radiator support. It took my friend over five days to rewire the whole truck sottering wires and hiding them. One thing that was important to us was to make sure that you only see what is necessary other than that it is hidden. You can also check my buil thread there are more picts there.Hope it gives you an idea.

I suppose if we are going for the custom/hidden wireing rout, and going to be cutting and lenghtening wires, It would be cheaper just to order a stock one huh? I was thinking a nice shiny wiring kit from Painless. I'll have to check the price diff.

Why not use the painless kit and then not have to lengthen wires and reconnect (opprotunity of problems). The stock harness is not the ideal when trying to hide and you will have a new cut up harness in the end- sorta defeats the purpose imo. Use the painless or similar as wires are already longer than ness. and hide from there. Again my opinion, best of luck in either route you choose.

Where do you find stock harnesses? I've only seen the painless.
