Default Coil Packs Relocated

I finally got this little project finished. This has been done before to other place, but this my version. And the real reason why I removed the AC unit.....

The 1st batch is the location, and the bracket build:

And here it is installed. Now I need to rework the wire harness a little to make the connections & hang it off the firewall (along with the plug wires to the driver's side)

Looks like that is going to work out pretty well Mark. Gonna need some long *** wires to get to the plugs on the other side. Should look really clean when your done.

You'd have been hard pressed to see the coils on the old car. One pack was under the main fuse box & the other was mounted on the frame rail where the AC compressor use to be. But I've had the MSds for a year.....

Are they worth the money you have to pay for them?

Cause I was thinking about getting them. But could not justify paying over 500.00 for just the coils. when stockers work fine.

what spark plug wires are you going to run (or which parts of what kit), cause I'll be relocating the coil packs in my project truck so I can run these
