coil relocation before you ream my *** for the search feature, i looked at couldnt find what i was looking for. im picking up a new motor that has fabbed valve covers on it and the cowl is chopped off the car. where are you guys putting the coils in a situatioon like this? pics would be great, thanks.
you can put them on the front of the shock towers, on the frame rails in front of the motor, or make a bracket to mount them off the heads as well if you want.
Remind me when you're here to give you the plastic spacers to make a relocation setup, I have some plastic spacers that will work good for that (will have to cut to length, depending on how you want to do it)
I have also seen the coils mounted on the back side of the shock towers, with a bracket made to put them there. PCM was moved inside the car under the dash so they were out of the way there.
You could, if you have access to a fab guy make a bracket that would bolt to the valve covers too if it's too much of a pita to relocate them. Maybe even weld a couple bosses onto the valve covers to mount the stock coil pack tray's to.... if you don't want to go to the trouble.
Just with the solid roller it's easier to get to the valvetrain when the coils aren't in the way... one less thing you have to deal with.

they definiately wont be going on the valve covers. frame sounds like a feasible location and the wires wont have to be so long. i want to keep them off the valve covers just because i know that they will be coming off quite frequently.
I marked the for sale threads sold a while ago, just realized that the sig wasn't changed. My bad on that.
Frame works fine. The back side of the front fenders works good too. Wherever you're comfortable putting them really.
