Any write ups on coil pack relocation?

I want to relocate my coils to another area of the bay. Does anyone have a do it yourself write up? What about kits for sale?
Thanks.

I got my kit to relocate the coil pack to the side frame rails from Charlie at RPM Motors (888-755-5391). Charlie also supplied me the the plug n' play harness adapters. I think there is a thread somewhere on CF with pictures posted by Charlie about six months ago. I can PM you pictures of the brackets and harnesses and the setup installed on my engine if you want me to send them to you.

I bought a universal MSD 8.5mm kit made specifically for the LS1. I remember that they were plenty long

I had to order them from Jegs. No one locally sold that specific (universal cut-to-length) set for the LS1

Here is another option from Abear Motorsports. Don't even have to change plug wires. I like these a lot.
