How did this guy mount his coil packs like this?? Did he make a custom bracket that attaches to the fuel rail? Where did he get the longer wires? I kinda want to do this.
thanks

Those brackets pictured are not the Katech ones that attach to the valve cover, they were fabricated by the owner and they attach to the fuel rails. You can purchase several types similar to the above, most will mount to the studs used for the fuel rail.

BTW those are NOT the Katech valve covers, they are the GM racing c5r covers, notice the fittings in the front normally used for dry sump oiling, lack of oil fill provision, etc.

There is someone else on here that did it the same way (where I got the idea from) but I can't seem to find the pic he posted (it has been a long time). The basic idea is all coil pack "relocation kits" stack 4 coils together on bolts/threaded rod. I did this but then went a set further and mounted them standing up in on the frame rail so they are out in cool air and out of the way of valve cover removal/plug change/etc.

Are you serious?? That looks 100 times better than some big plastic covers IMO. I never have liked the look of FRC's. It's like vinyl siding on a house, just covering up what's underneath. You could have a litter of dead kittens under your FRC's and would never know it.
