Default Post LS6 motor pictures

I sure would like for you guys to post pictures of your motors with the fuel rails removed. I would like to see the coils and wires and so on. Anyone got some pics?

I ripped off the plastic fuel rail covers the day I bought it. Never did care for the "cheap" plastic look.

The ones that come stock on the car. AC Delco... They secure much better and as far as quality, much better than the MSDs.

Just a thought...............

When I was getting ready to add my KB supercharger, I knew I wasn't going to be able to use the stock fuel rail covers. I didn't want to relocate the coils and get custom valve covers, nor could I find any FRC's that would fit with the KB. I decided to try and dress up the stock items.

I powder coated the valve covers red and the coil brackets silver. This added just a splash of color to the boring stock look. If you just added FAST Fuel rails, they would look even better "dressing" up the stock covers and brackets........... FWIW .......


Stock LS6 without FRC's and stock covers/brackets

I really like the way the powder coated valve covers. Great ideas guys. I think I may have to go after some of these ideas this winter in my 70.

I have the same kit however, the MSD coil packs won't fit without spacers making thme to high.

I'm in the midst of putting together a LS3 forged 416. Ended up getting some LS2 coils as their connectors are in the back side and they are a little smaller however I now need new coil brackets because the LS1/LS6 brackets don't work.
