Question Coil Relocation Kit questions

hi everyone, i would like to clean up the look of my valve covers, and make the ls1 look like a more traditional v-8.

i saw a Ignition Coil Relocation kit, it looked awsome. it moved the coils behind the engine, on custom brackets. u couldnt see them at all. from Mast

it almost looked like the plug wires were coming from a distributor. it was very clean and old school

does anyone have Pics or Advice on a kit? or even how to make one?

just think how Good it would look with a Carb intake too.

My brackets are less money and come with a lifetime warranty vs defects on the 8.5mm Superconductor wires. Our brackets also fit all the LS coils.

I made my own, not too difficult. If i end up getting this welder i've been looking at, i'll make a revised version of what i have now. My current brackets just bolt together. If you have access to a vise and a drill, you can make a set like mine without any trouble. The only part that sucks is i attached them directly to the underside of the wiper cowl. This would be nearly impossible with a complete engine in the car. I did it during my head swap and it was still a chore.
