Talking

Thunder Racing sells a kit for 200.00 or you can buy the wires from PPC (sponser) ------>
and fabricate your own brackets.

Thunder sells the crimp tool for $10, then all you need to buy is the wires and terminals. Or you could call PPC, I've heard they have them pre-cut, just not on their site.

a standard wire crimper works fine, if you build your own
it just takes a little longer, cause you gotta crimp em a few times to get the terminal right
save some $$$

Taylor sells the coil ends. Its called the LT1 boot kit part #46052 for the 180 degree boots. I dont know the # for the 90*
but save yourself some money, and buy the univeral kit that already comes with the LT1 boot/terminal kit. You'll save a good $20

Me and my dad did the relocation in about 5 hours. We got the kit from thunder racing and if there was actually decent directions it would of taken us about 2 hours or so to do. Putting the metal brackets together was the only hard part lol. It makes the engine look alot better though so get off your butt and do it.
