Simple Man, I have used Braided Self Wrap PET Sleeving for 20+ years on the entire harness. It is good to 257 degrees and I never had trouble with it in an engine bay. One hundred foot rolls are available from DelCity.net in various widths, #851,#852,#854,#855,#856. If you are not already familiar with DelCity.net, they are a great resource for all things electrical.

SimpleMan - I have a roll of Tesa tape that is used by Mercedes-Benz, BMW and other european makes.  It is the wide size, 80mm (approximately 3 in.).  I used it on my build but have almost a whole roll left.  I'll give it to you for $10 to cover postage if you want it.  There is enough to do your entire engine bay and have plenty left over.  Email me if you're interested at dayone2@cox.net.

Dont listen to Neil, he doesn't know what he is talking about...HAHA I am only Joking!! Seriously, listen to him as he offered a good suggestion. I agree on using the non sticky version of the tape however, spend the extra money and get good wire loom. The cheap stuff will look good at first but deteriorate quickly over time.
