Nice. I have yet to see a relocation that does not look better than the stock locations.

I'd do somthing about the wire loom, I dont care for it, makes it look tacky. If you did somthing about that, I would say it looks AWESOME.

you guys read my mind. i bought nasty fuel rails with the valve covers, but i don't know how to install them. so i'll try to figure it out later. also im looking to do something with the wire loom. i did so much work to the car at once, im sick of working on the ****** thing. i did a new clutch(textralia)- which is great, ls6 valley cover(to get the ls6 pcv setup) and swapped the pushrods to 7.4 from 7.375 to try to quiet the valve train. so i was at .075 preload. im trying the preload at a .100, but it didnt quiet the car down worth ****.

The best way to do it is getting some aluminum bar stock, threaded rod ends, from Lowes and 12-pack and fab your own. I used the LSX universal wire set from MSD and made my own wires.

No. I used a universal spark plug wire kit for the ls1. I cut and crimped all the spark plug wires to the length i needed. I made coil brackets from threaded rod. i put one set of coils behind the battery and the other set in the fender bolted to the frame. Then i cut the coil pack harness wires and extended all the wires to the length i needed.
