I tried to find a shop that made these kits a few months but didnt find a single one. Most I found were custom made. I am glad I am not the only one looking for a kit.

I have a COMPLETE kit, I just haven't gotten around to doing the instructions.

It includes smoothed and powdercoated valve covers, custom MSD wires, tig welded and powdercoated coil brackets, and plug-n-play coil wire extension harnesses, and new coil pack harnesses.

Its a complete kit that relocates everything out of site..

The retail price is set at 439.00 shipped for everything including the valvecovers. If you want the GMPP valve covers, its $589.00 powdercoated to the color of your choice..

mine are just long pieces of allthread on both sides of the coil packs. And then go some cut to length wires.

Jeffs kit sounds like a great deal with the valve covers!

So our kit not only extends the harness itself, but it seperates into 4 individually loomed plugs for easy plug in..

No need to bend/twist your factory harness and risk breakage.

Plus, our kit comes with OEM valve covers that have had the coil pack bosses cut off, and tig filled. We then powdercoat them to the color of your car.. We can even do your fuel rails..
Awesome, can't wait to see some pictures. I have time as my project is moving along very slowly.

Can't wait to see some pic's of your KB project. Good Luck.

Custom brackets, wires, totally redid engine harness so there is no coil pack wiring in harness, made new separate ign coil harness and made it so Lingenfelter two step plugs right in. everything is in the fenders and can not be seen but can be accessed thru inner fender.

I have not seen one done this way and by far I think its the cleanest.


I redid the entire wiring harness so everything looks clean

I love your idea of putting them inside the fromt fenders. How much work is it to remove the fenders?

The fenders are not hard to remove. I did a panel paint job on the car so every panel was off the car to be painted. It worked out nice because everything was apart.

Quick question: Are you still running stock coils? I've been told they run out of spark with over 10# of boost... I was told to switch to MSD coils, but I doubt this theory.
