Thanks guys,

Right now, the only set is bolted to my 454, but I will be making a couple more sets for some close friends, if/when I decide to market these, I will be sure to let everyone know.

I really hope I decide to, I think this would be a great addition to a lot of engine bays, looks so damn clean.




This scene from Step Brothers is what I think of everytime someone mentions the difficulty of changing coils/plug wires.

(Wont this make changing the coils difficult? :: Are bonito fish big?)

I mean, I think you're missing the point here...

I saw a picture of a C6R motor and it had them in same place.

A very nice touch. It looks as though you might have to have the solid engine mounts to pull it off. I know my Eurathane mounts take up a fair bit of room with the UMI K member in that area.

If you ever have issues with the plug boots. I just put a set of the Accel ceramic wires on mine and they are supposed to be good to 2000 degrees vs the 1500 for everyone else. Not that the car is running, but it is closer.

Wow. Thanks for posting that. I haven't seen that before, but its cool someone else's take on the design (with an obviously limitless budget).

I can't see an aftermarket K-member causing issues,

You could probably install them with the engine in if you pulled the A/C compressor if necessary and the alternator.

I made my own wires, just required me to buy the $80 MSD wire crimper.

As far as getting some made, I can see if I can do that soon. Ill post in here when/if I do.

Thanks for the props and interest guys. I spent a couple months trying to figure this out and get it right.

Anybody thinking about selling the idea should know that i have already started a patent. With this thread and mentionings before this as my proof, I will stand by.
