Well it looks like its pretty cheap to get some all thread rod and a few other things to peice it together.. the problem is the wires are expensive from what I have seen.. Anyone got a hoockup on wires? I want it under my cowl..

I mounted my coils under the cowl, but to do this you will need to shorten the coil wiring harness a bit, The coils are spaced across the valve covers and when you mount them under the cowl the coils will be stacked together and the coil harness will be hanging out every were. The bracket i made is with 1/8" all threads rod and tubing with a 1/8" or larger I.D. cut 1" long to space the coils apart and made a mounting plate out of aluminum and bolted it to the cowl

Stock length wires too. Have a SC mounted over the valve cover, so they had to move. If you dont have to move them, Id leave them on the valve cover

Its only on one side to clear the blower. Drivers side is stock, but easy to replicate if I wanted to

This is my home made relocation kit. I bought the relocation kit from Thunder Racing that came with the universal 10.5 taylor wires. I used some of their kit and a few other custom pieces I made and it came out like this. It is still a work in progress and isnt fully done but here is what it is so far. I ran the plug wires under the headers to the plugs with the 45 degree angle boots.

I mounted them under the frame just in front of the radiator core support.



I then used some of the plastics from under the car that I deleted to make this box that fits around the coils to protect them from direct water splashes.



And this is what my motor looks like after those ugly coil packs are gone with my GMHTP valve covers.

I know I'm late to the party here but did the stock hood close without hitting the coils in this spot? Edit: pic from post #19.
