Just buy an OVC kit and route them wherever you wish.

Taylor and MSD make universal wires that are cut to fit. A few of the sponsors here carry them. I know Thunder Racing does.

Accel universal fit 8.5 & 11 mm wires will work fine. We have them in every parts store here in MD. Very easy to install.

From the MSD sales guy:
We offer a universal set for the LT-1 part number 32129 for the straight boots and 32139 for the 90 LT-1 boots. This kit is supplied with the LT-1 end already crimped on and you crimp the plug side. It is difficult to crimp the LT-1 end, if it is not done correctly it will ruin it which is why we do them here.
I bought a set of these from Summit. They provide more than enough length (the shortest one is long enough to do the rear cylinders) It comes with a really neat little cutting and crimping tool which makes it a no brainer installation. Summit partnumber is the above numbers with the letters "MSD" preceeding it.

well thunder racing has a kit for $100, wires you can make, and the looms to mount them on the valve cover.

im really thinking about getting some of the shielding also, but its kinda high. hehe

thanks for all the updates.

one more thing, do yall think with a stock motor anything more than 8mm is worth it?

No. 8 mm is enough. 11mm generally having less resistance per foot, but more expensive and a little harder to install.
