Moved my brake lines looks better now, how hard is it to hide the MAP and or vacuum tree?

I need to trim the longer hose for the passenger valve cover vent still.

You dont want to hide or relocate the MAP!All i did tho was just let it hang behind the motor so it's out of sight.If you relocate it or "hide" it you take a chance of it not reading properly and could give you headaches on how the car runs!As for the vac T.i deleted it and ran everything off the intake...peace

Or you could just paint,chrome, or powercoat, etc that bracket it hangs on. not really hiding it, but at least it will look better.

Agreed,

I am going to paint it for now and worry about moving it later.

My motor is moved back with the MM K so there is no room, I just painted it for now.



Trimmed the valve cover vent hose too.

Not sure about moving the MAP, but I can tell you that I moved my BAP into the fender about 8 years ago and I've never had a problem by doing so.

My site no longer exists but I have my Wire Hiding write-up posted on many different Mustang sites along with the pics I took when I did mine.

You should have mail with my write-up and a link to those pics.
