Its not an LT1. Its a Gen 1 400 block punched to 427ci.

But I know the 24x stuff is popular with the LT1 crowd that why I'm asking in here. Also because its going in a 95 camaro

Some people mount them under the cowl or on the subframe. I don't have any pictures as I have center bolt covers and made my own mounting method. Hopefully someone who has done the other two places chimes in.

I kinda like the way I did mine. I made new injector covers and mounted them on new covers. Sorta this way: It keeps the valve covers....."cleaner" looking I think.

Not sure what a Parameter is, but Perimeter would be a bit tougher, you may want to look at hiding them under the cowl. Most the LT1s including whats left of mine that run this set up, use center bolt valve covers. Be a lot cleaner to stick them under the cowl, another guy on here with a YSi Lt1 mounted them on the back of his single plane which you couldn't do since your a Gen I and will whats left a distributor back there.

You could weld threaded bosses to the center of perimeter valve covers to accept the coil brackets. Check out http://www.aluminumspacers.com for threaded aluminum spacers. Not sure where to suggest steel threaded spacers.
