Wiring needs

[stevenf]

I plan on doing an engine swap fairly soon whether it be a 4.0L or 302, I havent yet decided.
I am pretty well minded with mechanical and fabricating things. However, I am not so good with wiring. I know nothing about vehicle electrical systems minus your basic pos, neg, and grounds.
What will I need for a swap? The computer, the engines wire harness, the fuse panel, what else?
The purpose of splicing wires is so you dont have to rewire the dash? Any info is appriciated....

I had 32's
Then I temporarily ran 29's
Am now rocking some rather underwhelming 35's, hoping to step up to some 35-36" INTERCO's
