A. Using string (or rope, or whatever comes to hand), lay out the wire run and determine the lengths you want. Go to junkyard and find a car that has similar lengths and then buy the wire set for that car.

B. Custom make your own set...it's not hard to do, especially if you have the special block to strip the wire ends (included in the kit I used which, IIRC, was from Accel).
Any speed/custom shop can help you with this.

I made my own when I put my lx-92's on the frame rail. One thing I was wondering though is there any special crimpers for making your own plug wires. I just used a pair of pliers but wouldn't mind getting a set of crimpers if they had em'.
