Coil Relocation Ideas I just did a search on this topic and found 2 options.
1)I can either mount my coils under the cowl.
2)I can use spacers with my stock valve covers.
I have a set of C5-R valve covers I would like to use but I was looking for better ideas fot the coils. I really like what Lou G. did on his Corvette but they won't have that kit available until LATE summer.
What I would like to know is, does anyone have any new ideas on what to with the coils and has anyone heard anything out of Jay Fisher Pontiac on their solution? My new motor is coming together soon and I need help.
Thanks,
Shane

I am going with the tall C5R valve cover to clear a shaft mount rocker arm setup with my solid roller cam.

Re: Coil Relocation Ideas I have seen several people say how they like the way L.G. relocated his coilpacks. I've never seen the way he's done them and can't find it on his webpage. Does anyone have a link to where I can see it? Thanks.

These mount to the fuel rails and cover the wiring harness and part of the valve cover.
