I wish there were a way to run the wires under the headers on a big block, Really looks crappy.

Heres Logans engine,
The looms are made to mount on traditional valvecover bolts, but we were using centerbolt heads....So we just bent the bracket and bolted the loom to the head instead, there are holes already in the head, 1/4" I think they are so you can mount the early style spaqrk plug heat sheilds.

Any suggestions?

(Well.. ok, besides buying new heads! lol)

in a day or so I will have pics for you. I am now in the process of swapping to late model heads and have the same problem.
as for the opening poster I can show what i did have.

mine are like ETsC10. Alot of mid to late Vettes were run this way. Nice and clean. The front two on each side are under the motor mounts

Here's how I did mine. Pretty close to headers, but so far so go.

That doesn't appear to be the factory style hanger on the back, do you mind saying where you got it from?
Thanks,

If I recall correctly, I got those from Jegs. I think they were a universal "under header" set.

Sport/Truck · 11-29-2008, 11:45 PM

Since I started this thread I still don't have a picture of my Kingsborne wires on. But here are some of Napa Wires for a mid 70's Corvette. I didn't like how they fit so I routed them how I wanted and measured for my own.
I also have my heat shields installed.
