Not going to set up a 6 pack at the back of each head so that you can artistically deploy the plug wires as you've shown (way, way...) in the past?

That was what I wanted to do and I've been staring at it for about 2 weeks now trying to figure out how to pull it off....but I'm just out of space to do it I think. I have a massive exhaust pipe and coolant lines running through there already and I still need room to connect to the side air inlets.

Here's what I came up with. I made a bunch of spacers so I can assemble the coils in a stack. Then I added a lower bracket that plugs into the old throttle cable support. Now I need to add brackets to each end that reach up to the studs on each end of the upper heat shield and that should keep the coils in place, mostly out of sight and still allow easy plug changes......I think.
