So I removed the block off panel (by drilling out 20 rivets lol) to mount the coils to it. This made it a lot easier to work with. After I re installed the panel with a little help from my dad, the plug wires didn't take too long to run. Looks pretty cool. Here are a couple pics.









More updates soon
looks great. very tidy

Questions... why not just run the coil packs in their normal OEM location? People usually relocate the coil-packs when they want to purdy up the engine bay and run fancy valve covers.

My biggest reason was because of heat. I haven't specifically heard of any cases where heat caused an LS coil pack to fail but heat will shorten the life of any coil pack. Not really interested in fancy valve covers though :/

Gotcha... I guess It couldn't hurt. FWIW I've never heard of anyone ever having an issue with a coil-pack on one of these motors and nobody relocates them.

Since you went ahead and relocated them you need some of these

Who's nobody? Lol. Its good to hear they last awhile. Still don't like them sitting on the valve cover. It cleans everything up a little, keeps them away from the headers and just looks cool Those carbon covers are pretty damn sexy.
