I am running an LS engine with a somewhat more vintage vibe, and put some nice valve covers on with an LSX logo. The typical coil relocation would be to put the bracket on top of the valve cover, which brings them off the cover, but still hides everything below it due to the wires. I am thinking about relocating to the firewall so it is a really clean look and wanted to see if there is better choices or mounts etc. that have worked out for others?

Out of everything I have researched this is what I came up with that would be a small tight package. Proform 69520 Coil re-locators/ TSP 81020BK (60) 81015-8 (192) 81024 (60) 81021 (24)/ MSD Wire. I still have my "truck" coils and brackets in case I can use them somewhere else.

Since you are going with a vintage vibe, why not get valve covers that look old school but have the coils hidden underneath them? I have seen these advertised in hot rod and street rod mags.

Hi Wallace, Some look a little bloated, but I have also heard issues from engine shops about the covers causing false sparks from being to close in proximity to the coils and wires. Basically they said stay away.
