That depends on the amount of wires, which sorta depends on what stuff/how your harness is setup, and which part of the harness you mean.

anywhere from the 1/2 small stuff up into the 1 or 1-1/2 stuff.

The braided loom is better quality than the split stuff, flexes more and seems a little more appealing. I have a mixture, but I like that stuff better.

As for the collectors, you can junkyard hunt some off a stock exhaust, see if a muffler shop has something they can work with, or just buy the flanges and make a set.

You may need to look in to a shallow slump pan for your swap, the stock truck pan is going to hang lower then the front cross member and your truck looks like you got a 6" drop in the front. This is the pan in order from my truck and it has every thing needed to swap.

I'm just getting around to swapping a 4.8l into one my trucks, after having the motor for about 2 years. Keep up the good work.
