    I did some searching but came up empty handed, does anyone have pics of there swaps with relocated coil packs? Was thinking about moving them to clean the engine up a bit.

    Nice thanks Jeff! That's quite the setup you have there, looks sweet!! What wires did you use with the coils mounted behind the engine?

    I was able to reuse the Gen1 5.0 Vortec wires. That worked out very well because they were low mileage MSD wires. If I wre to do it over---Instead of all 8 coils next to each other and almost touching; I would have about a 2inch space in the middle (4coils-space-4coils) The wires would have a little more wiggle room like that.
