Default Relocated My Coils

Got bored, took the intake off my truck and mocked it up on a block I have in my garage. Their just setting in place right now, Ill get more pics once I get them mounted and back in the truck. These are not the wires ill be running. Green is bad luck.

When coils are relocated they look so good. But most of the setups I've seen are $.
Tyler, I look forward to rest of your pics on this. What are u gonna run for wires? MSD or...got a P/N or still lookin?

Ive gotten a set on lt1 wires im going to try for length, cant remember if they are msd or taylors. dozerdan knows what they are, we had them on his truck when I relocated his coils. I plan on getting some MSDs and cut them to length if the lt1 wires dont work. Ive gotten a set of valve covers I have ground down the posts that the brackets bolted to. I need to repaint them since they have been scratched up. Any one that knows me knows Im a tight *** and general make things my self, so i have no money in these so far, just some all thread i had layin around and several 1/4 nuts and some aluminum strap and angle im going to make the brackets out of.

I like to keep things simple. Its just some aluminum angle that has been cut and bent. 1/4 all thread is ran through and has nuts holding the coils in place. I have a space to clear my oil pressure sender. Ill slap it on the motor sometime tomorrow and see how it goes. I sent a pic to Danny, he called and asked me what kind of distributor I had on there, gotta little chuckle out of that.

Yea those are damn sweet, but im sure they are very pricey. If I do buy a set of valve covers they will be fabricated covers without the provisions for coil brackets. for now ill stick with these, gotta resand them and put on some more filler.

You don't like them as a co.? Do tell. They built the C5R/ C6R's for GM. I figure that has to stand for somethin. Ya, they build some pricey stuff. I don't have those, I just posted em up for ref.
