Default '71 Nova 6.0 Conversion

In the process of doing a 6.0 in a '71 Nova. Want to do a remote location of the PCM and coil pacs to the interior of the car. Question is, can the plug wires be run together with the wiring harness back out into the engine bay without any issues? Heard there could issues running high and low voltage stuff together.

you might have problems with electro-magnetic interference running 8 high-voltage cables so close to all the wiring harness wires. Also, that's going to be a pretty far distance for the coils to send the pulses to the spark plugs. Not that the spark plug wires these days are horrendously resistive, but the shorter the spark plugs wires the better...
