Stock Coils Relocation

Looking for ideas on where to put them...keeping AC and cruise. I've only seen them in the cruise or ac bracket locations. Any body do anything different? I really don't want to put them on top of the engine again.

Any reason why? I have the original coils on my car with 130,000 miles, no problems.

Just cleaning up under the intake and reduce what heat I can to parts under there.

I was able to purchase a bracket from David Garfinkle, so I'm going that route.

David Garfinkle's coil bracket

Had to pull the tranny out, which will probably be easier for the installation anyways...came out nice.

You have to drill 4 holes (I had the engine out and had to pull the tranny) My 90 drill was still too big to do it. Then it is held by jack nuts and counter sunk allen head bolts.
