Anyone have any relocation kits they have been impressed with ? I am trying to decide what to use with the new motor for the vert.
Thanks!

Personally I think relocating the coils creates other issues. When I install and engine in a car, I want it to look like it is sitting there "stand alone." In other words, I don't want wires or hoses coming from the engine bay to the engine. With the main engine harness anchored towards the rear of the engine the coil harnesses are already integrated and the plug wires go from the coil to the spark plugs.
When you move the coils to the chassis (body) now you have to remake the coil harnesses and then make plug wire. I used Holley valve covers and coil covers to clean up the look:

There are carious other styles of coil covers that look really nice.
Just my 2 cents.

I put my coils on the crossmember- u don't see them-the wires come up right to the spark plugs under the headers

I used a bracket I found on ebay. I located them just in front of the upper control arms:

This link to my build thread shows the bracket, where I mounted them, how I built the wiring harness, etc.: https://www.pro-touring.com/threads/85708-Project-BLACK-METAL-67-Camaro?p=1081224#post1081224
