maybe its just me,but the plain covers look uglier to me. sounds funny,but the coil mount pins gives it character...lol! plus i wanted to have the option.well that and i had ordered the valve covers thinking i was able to fit the coils on perfectly. they were to tight so i had to buy the relo kit.

I've thought about that and its a good idea,but i have specilized stainless covers that cover all those pieces(brake res,tc,battery cov,pcm...)

pacessetters. i like them. they've been good to me for 3 years. i also have a set of LPP stainless st. sitting in my garage that might go in latter.

Where did you get the coil pack relocation kit? I'm going to be doing a LS1 PCM conversion this winter on my bird and that kit looks very well put together. Is there enough wire where you are you able to tuck them nicely?

I hear you they are a tight fit. I recently bought the same valve covers and going to mount the coils on them. I cromed my coil bracket so we will see how they look real soon here.

Good looking set up!

here's a few pics/ vid of the car and the engine bay we took at my car clubs photo shoot. I also threw in a few other ones so u get an idea of how she sits all around.

by the way i did chrome the headlight brackets,but i guess my father in law must have toss one in the trash since it was wrapped in newspaper. I had to get it redone that's why its not in the pics. anyways enjoy...













and a vid.

everything really looks great man. my only suggestion is to paint the lower part of the air box black, and clear coat the lid. That'd really complete it, gotta give that black a fresh finish.

yeah, I was either going to go with a Mti lid or airbrush some realistic SOM flames on the lid. honestly I'm going to be going FI in the future so i dont know if i want to dump money into that.
