We re-fabricated them to put the bracket on more of an angle as well as the coil, (not much more from the original) and the clearance is no issue. Putting the coils on a little bit more of an angle for sure changed the attitude of the design. I'll have pictures up tomorrow afternoon of the progress.
got mine installed over the weekend and they do look good, but i think im going to go to some truck coils right now i just have my coils bolted down on the covers using one bolt.

Awesome...I was just in Somerset Y for the Somernite Power Cruise and saw Hollley there with these valve covers.
And my luck I have LS1 coils so I was pissed I couldn't get them. I planned to relocate my coils and then came across these VC's. I thought to make a bracket as well.
Good to know someone has done it. Looks great. I'm just OCD so I'm not too keen on how the left edge of the bracket and left edge of the coil pack is not parallel.

Thanks a lot bro, I'll have more pics up soon. These brackets are not perfect because I don't have the best tools, but the machine shop down the road looks interested in helping.
