Need help wiring my 55

I am going to install a 1996 351W with a T5 transmission. What wiring harness to you suggest. I need everything lights, dash, engine, ecu, injectors.....everything. Mainly looking for ideas as to what other people have done.

I am thinking about using the Painless system for the 5.0

the painless system will have everything for the EFI part.. all u will need is power and ground to the painless harness.

for the whole truck, I used an EzWire system.. $185, all the wires labeled nicely..
today I would use the mini fusebox which they didn't have when I ordered mine so long ago..

only feature it doesn't have is the ability to easily switch the windows/door locks to powered vs live by moving a fuse.

but thats no reason to over spend

I don't have EFI in my truck but I used a Rebel wiring harness Rebel Wire .:. Wire kits .:. Wiring Harness .:. Connectors and Accessories for Real Rods, these guys were great. If I had a question all I had to do was give them a call and they would walk me through it over the phone with-out making me feel like some dumba$$...
