24x coil selection

Here are the three types of ls coils out there. ls1, ls2 and truck coils
Personally I like the ls2 coils best; because they are the most compact. I don't think the truck coils will make much more power than the ls2 coils; unless you have a bad ls2 coil.

Just scored me some truck coils for $40! Now how can i mount them and they not look like do-do. And if anyone can let me know if im forgetting something for my 24x conversion please chime in. I have a 96-97 hub and timing cover coming, truck coils, im ordering the 24x kit, pcm, diy harness kit, and crank key at the end of the month. And i need to source a 96-97 knock sensor.

It seems like the only decent spots to locate the coils is on the valve covers (which can work very nicely , whether you have center bolts or not), and the back of the intake manifold. If you're handy with sheet metal fabrication, you can do anything.

I have a new set of Thunder Racing LSx coil relocation brackets I never used for $75 + shipping lmk if you're interested. Either pm me or email me at z24.turbo@gmail.com

I can maybe snap some more pictures tomorrow, but I just used stainless rod stock and stainless washers/nuts. Then I just used a spacer to keep it up off the valve cover and more spacers where needed to clear the oil fill and pcv stuff. I painted the spacers this last time I had the motor out. What I used for spacers was actually those that were on the stock exhaust manifold bolts.

^ Nice! Way to be resourceful.
Lethal, I may be able to help you with this. If I had some dimensional numbers (hole spacing and coil mounting hole spacing) I could draw something up for you.
I have access to AutoCAD, and you could take it to a local shop and have it laser cut for you. Then you'd just use some internally threaded spacers to mount the coils on. Or, you could always purchase the coil brackets from EFI Connection. They're made from high quality materials and are a great fit (I use them).
If you wanted to get some cut at a shop, they'd probably charge you about $100 or so to do it. Then you'd have to get hardware, spacers, and make some countersinks/counterbores to flush up hardware.
