So this is for an engine stand? Will it be used frequently?

Gauge is one thing, but quality is probably more of a concern if the wires are going to move around a lot.

If it's used a lot, it would probably be best to go up one size on gauge, and maybe even make short breakout harnesses in case you need to make diff connections on diff engines. If you're not sure, you could always add them later, but one larger gauge will make it last longer.

You could also use wire covering, like split sleeve nylon, instead of zip ties, which prevents multiple wire runs from being flexible.

For fuses, I would have to suggest solid state breakers. Those last longer and are easily reset.

Are you using a remote start sol for the stand? That would prob be a good idea, would only need to connect a power lead that way. If stock starters are used you can jump the terminals.

There's a bunch of 'kits' out there for test stand, you can do an internet search for something like 'engine test stand wiring diagram' to help get ideas.

Some of it matters how nice you want to make it too.
