Re: Single Turbo ls1

With my manifolds I could still run the coil packs on the valve covers, the ones shown in this thread don't look like they would clear stock coil pack brackets, yoo can mount them anywhere really (firewall, below manifolds, etc), just lengthen the coil pack wiring.

Clean looking rig.

I know what you mean they are becoming real popular. I have been working on this for a couple of years now. It started as a project with my Dad and unfortunately he passed away shortly after we started. I hope to get it running in the next month or two.

Re: Single Turbo ls1

Nice bracket. I'm over on West side. I'd love to see it once it is up and running.
