I picked up an extra LT1 over the weekend that will sit in the corner of my garage...probably forever, or until I need a rebuild. I have ordered my LTCC and decided to use my new engine for coil ideas.

This is the LS2 coils installed onto the Proform coil brackets. I originally wanted to use them like a fuel rail cover, but I discovered a new idea.


Going to pick it up, I was at my buddies house (Darth Vader house in the background)


Got it into the garage


Tearing it down...looks like a newer opti, and a MSD Blaster coil

I like your idea but better double check you have enough clearance with the HVAC box.

will do!, I will see what they look like in the car!

Alternative approach, particularly useful when running a solid roller cam, requiring more frequent removal of valve covers.....

Out of sight, out of mind.

I bet I can get those brackets to bolt nicely under there too!

Don't use the "bottom" location on a supercharged setup.... broken belt tears the wires out.

I never broke a belt with any of my blower setups. Made plenty of dust with the YSi though.

My only experience is seeing the aftermath of the belt letting go on George Baxter's 9.0-second 30th SS convertible. We were both running the same coil setup with the MoTeC ECU. But that's all ancient history, dating back to maybe 2002.

I am going to try something like this. Got the rings burnt out at work just need to mock up the coils.http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/...ps6f204537.jpg

I usually advise against mounting them to the valve covers or to fuel rail covers as I originally did. It looks nice but if you have to adjust the rocker arms it's a hassle.
