Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!

I made some brackets to mount the coil packs to the frame rail.

for each set of 4, I used 2 pieces of 1/4" all thread and a bunch of nuts to space them out appropriately. Then I took some pieces of scrap sheet metal and made a couple of L brackets and bolted those to the all thread and the frame.

The passenger side is back near where the cab frame and truck frame meet. On the drivers side they're kinda under the alternator.

I just used some moroso 8mm spark plug wires (with straight spark plug boots) and some Taylor LT1 optispark boots and made up the wires myself. I had to use a 90 degree boot for the #3 spark plug with the way the angles of the spark plug and header tube are, this was the only way to avoid the two touching.

Oh, I also used one breather and a PCV valve on them too. I originally used 2 breathers, but it was leaking a very small amount of oil out of one of the breathers, dripping on the valve cover and header and then having that burnt oil smell I didn't want to have. I haven't noticed any leaking oil with the PCV valve.
