Default coil on plug

Can a coil on plug from the lsx somehow be made to work on the first gen small blocks?

Anything's possible. Just a matter of how much design work or fabrication you want to do. Schematically I can think of a couple ways to do it, but if you are looking for a bolt-on way, I may need to sleep on it. I'll get back to you later.

Regular SBC or an LTx? If LTx, then yes, there is a bolt on kit that allows you to use LS1 coils.

If you are talking about a regular SBC, I would imagine there are ways to make it work, but I wouldn't know how.
