CGM Official 'Engine Bay' Thread

[Oktain]

Here's my beater. still buttoning up a few things but should be completed in a few weeks.

Been meaning to relocate my coils to clean up under the hood. Probably do it at the same time that I do plugs/wires.

Where do you locate the coils?

It needs alot of attention in there. But so does the rest of the truck

Sheeeit... I need to do something with my engine bay.

I'll probably do plugs, wires, and maybe new coils this summer, but I'm tossing the idea around of doing a coil relocate... anybody dabble with the available coil relocation kits out there? Wouldn't mind relocating them to the firewall.

IIRC Anthony (afuso) relocated his but I'm not 100% sure it was him.

 

[Ginger]

i would relocate if it was stupid easy.

 

[a-fuso]

I did, but I just made new mounts to relocate them above the valve cover, instead of on the firewall. I also untaped my wire loom and redid it a little to reroute around the valve cover instead of over it and the intake like stock

if your not turbo'd, you could mount them on the bottom of the block. between the block and manifolds. there is plenty of room there. makes it easy to run your plug wires straight down.

i would fear heat wearing out the coils faster. because it is much hotter in that area

 

[theModshop]

That's how Nelson performance does their's.

Here's what I did, just made the mount from 1/8 aluminum angle iron and welded on some tabs. Used msd plug wires from katech, actually had them premade in the right length for their valve cover mounts and about $30 cheaper than buying direct from msd.

I don't think heat is really an issue, because its not much hotter on the side of the engine block than on the valve covers.
