looks pretty good, Im gonna try to figure out how to mount mine prob next week after I drop my engine back in, fortunately for me I have a FFIM, however I am running the older style LS1 coils with the plug end and coil end on the same side. There are two bosses on the driver side of the cylinder head near the fuel rail which i might use as my mounting location.
LSx coils

Be sure to post pictures!
Ill be running LSx coils as soon as i have the space and i up the boost.

i really wish i had the money for a FFIM 
its like the only thing honestly missing from this beautiful engine lol

* A = Coil Primary Ground or aka body ground
* B = Ignition low noise ground from ECU (ground) or aka ecu ground
* C = Ignition digital signal from ECU (+5V)
* D = +12V Supply to Coil Primary
ok so i just made up some brakets for the LS2 coils super cheap to, and it was a test of my ghetto abilitys lol parts list
3ft 1/4" fine thread stud $4
8 1/4" nuts $4
2 7/11 Slurpee aluminum straws cut 1 1/2" inbetween coils, and 1" for the end pieces $2
L bracket "pack of 2 with screws" $4
total price = $14
put all that together and do a little eye balling this is what you get
since i knew you all would be asking will the hood close yes it will, with a couple of washers at the hood mount to lift it off of the sexy coil harness i still am making lol
and just for a laugh, these will work just as good as these moroso part# 72395 ls2 brackets priced at $144.99

3 either side of the 3000 pipe would work, under the intake would be better/cooler.northwestsupra;1605345 said:
Yep makes them very attractive for a standalone ECU as they're cheap and have good output.NTRA08;1605349 said:
1 side of the 3000 pipe is throttle linkage other is bov. Under intake could work. Or just make a heat shield for the current location.
Heat rises, it's a furnace up there idling in traffic
Under the intake and ues the Vacc Reservoir mounting pad face the Coil outputs up and use straight boots will make the wires short as possible.
I bought a roll of MSD 8.5mm wire and terminals/boots from Summit that were cheap and made my own wires for the LSx in the Mk3.
You can either use the cheap crimper that MSD supply with the wire or by a real set of Crimpers, big advantage is they use removable jaws so one set can do all of your crimping needs short of Milspec stuff.

So I take it that we avoid heat to keep resistance down to get stronger spark and more accurate spark.. correct.

How about inbetween the intake and valve cover like above the fuel rail

Heat will eventually destroy the Coils, in the meantime they won't be "happy" so yeah reduced output..
I try to keep Injectors and Coils as far apart as I can if possible so wouldn't mount them up there.
