Default 3-4" longer plug wires

Looking for a couple of factory plug wires like the 2002 f-body wires but need them to be 3-4 inches longer. I know I can probably make a couple that will work but am hoping there is a factory application in the configuration I need.

Had to move the 2 rear passenger side coils on my swap and need wires for those 2 plugs.

Thanks

The ones for trucks are a little longer. Not sure if they will be long enough for you...

I had the same need, to clear one of my header primaries. Plug wires from a LT1 car will work. I think I bought a set for a 96 Impala SS. They were an assortment of sizes, and included a couple that were 3-4" longer than the 4th gen set.

Heads up, I had to take the header off on the side I used the longer wires on, and they are now popping off of the coils. The coil end is a tight fit, but they seemed to stay on before. Hose clamps or zip ties will probably fix it, but I'm now interested in other solutions.

Truck wires worked for me.

Not to hijack, but since the OP seems to have gotten his answer, does anybody have a set of LT1wires they can measure for me? I'd like to know how long eaxh one is, I assume 4 different length, two of each?

I fired up my motor for the first time last week, and all is well. The coil plugs are staying on so far. Zip ties should fix it if there's a problem.

The LT1 set I got was all over the place. I don't think any of them were the same length or configuration. Really handy for a hacker. The two I used are about 17" and 18" long, and the rest are between 11" and 36" long (see pic). There are 7 wires in the pic and 2 in my car, so I guess there's a coil wire in there somewhere as well.
