Hiding coil packs

It took me about 3 months working mostly weekends to do it all in addition to painting the entire underside of the car and all the fuel system and engine modifications.

I need that in my life. I must do this!

We have our coils relocated to the back of the heads (not using mast brackets so no input on those). It is very tight back there, but with small hands, a stubby wrench and proper bracketry it's not too bad. I'll try to get some pics when I get back in the shop tomorrow.

Thanks. I'll have a look at their site.

Ok so here are a couple pics of our coils mounted (not much to see because it's so tight). You can fit them back there and they can be installed and removed with the motor in the car. In the first pic you can see the plug wires exiting the coil packs, the second pic doesn't show much at all, and the third kinda shows the finished product. I know this is kind of useless without pics of the brackets, but I don't have any spare brackets lying around at the moment to take pics of so sorry there really isn't much to see.

I used the universal MSD wires and I lengthened my coil wires by soldering in more wire to the factory harness.

I tried the coils on the rear of the heads it was a super tight fit and i didnt like the clearances..so i put them on the frame rails like most everyone else is doing.

I mounted mine on the frame rails and was able to utilize the factory wiring. I untaped the coil pack harnesses, depinned the connectors, and reconfigured the wires to maximize length.

Need to clean them, but here's mine.
