Default might relocate coils. please come in

so I'm getting a new set of those same tall valve covers. the company is sending me a new set.this time i hope everything works out great. I'm also thinking about relocating the coils. can someone guide me on where to relocate them to make them look clean and where to get wires that work with this set up. i was told nasty performance carries wires and that i can make my own home depot brackets. has anyone gone this route? pics would be appreciated. thanks!

Well, theres the nasty setup w the coils under the cowl.. i believe merv (sorry if it was another of you overtalented folks) was making his own, but didnt really have time to make to order. Could definitely use that design as it seemed to be a better mounting option, however im partial to the relocs that put the packs right above the valve cover, closer to the manifold.

If it helps any, on my old lt1 ltcc setup the coils were actually down on the radiator shroud. Plenty of places, just need some time to figure out where fits best.

The under the cowl looked pretty good when I saw it, they were attached to the back of a strut bar. How long can the wires be? You can stick them in the glove box

If you decide to stick them under your cowl, I'd recommend removing the cowl piece that the wipers are attached on. It'll give you some more room to manuever around back there.

i like the ones that mount them closer to the front of the car like on the inside of the frame rail (passenger side next to ac canister and driver side next to the abs box)

Check this thread and look under post #20 to see how I did mine. Did mine for under $100, and that was including MSD wires, precut and everything with a LIFETIME warranty.
