hope this helps whomever and I do like shorter spark plug wire runs and like to keep as much as possible any units away from heat and any water intrusion ie water leaks from sunpad areas when swimmers climb back in the boat. just saying.

Also do not like spark plug wires with tight bends in them period. I favor a straight shot as possible and short runs if all possible plus away from other sensors and or especially any knock sensors. Includes the coil(s) as well.

My block is painted bright white and the heads are raw aluminum, valve covers, intake, pulleys and other things are painted transparent candy apple red.

Id love to see some pics.

I don't have any pictures of the front showing the white block but it is the same color as the bracket mounting the MSD box.
The headers were supposed to be the same color as the other parts but the idiot didn't get all of the old paint off ( black ) with the sand blaster and so it showed through the transparent red. SO he painted them again and the problem with transparent paint is the thicker it gets the darker it gets.
The clear collar around the flame arrester mates to the bottom of the hood scoop for ram air.

Nice job. color reminds me of more power racing. Looks nice!

by the looks of the hat at the bottom of the flame arrestor, I am taking it you have an open engine hatch scoop ?

Sorry I read your post and see now as it is a scoop set up

--- Just edited my post as I went back up to read your post below pic.

Looks killer! I was mostly interested in the red as I’m painting a moto and like the looks of layers of tinted clear.

I have a friend of mine prototyping some of theses coil mounts right now , I'm mounting them on the Jeff Johnston Valve covers , Similiar to an LS.
We used the LS Mounts form ICT Billet 551575 as a starting point , but they point exactly opposite from the way they should.
We also removed all the extra mount holes . We are going to make it out of 5/8 aluminium.
I hope they will mount to the side of the cast aluminum style covers also.
