V8 swap wiring.

I have a 97 Ranger Im in the progress of stockflooring with a 302 V8. When it comes to rewiring the motor, which is what Im stuck at now, Im having problems fitting all the huge clunky wires everywhere. Are there alot of wires I need to cut off and remove. Ive seen the Painless kits and stuff, but never for what Im trying to do. If anybody has any info on how to solve this with smaller and cleaner looking wiring, please let me know.

are you using the factory chassis harness?
i'm guessing all the wires your talking about are for a fuel injected intake.

other than that i believe there is just starter, alternator, and ignition.

theres a bunch of guys over on the rps v8 forum that have all sorts of info about this kind of stuff. might be a more direct route to the information you are trying to come up with.
