Bill,
Here's three pictures of my coils-on-plugs setup, unpainted.  (Lest anyone get the idea of using garden hose for plug-coil connectors, they were for mockup purposes only.)  The brackets mount to the holes in the rotor housings that are normally used for knock sensors.  I understand these bolt holes are only on some of the 3rd gen engines.  So, you would have to find somewhere else to bolt to.  The bracket is made of 1/2" square 4130 tube.  The "wires" going from the coil to the plug cap were made from springs which I stretched out a bit.  Since these coils are made to mount directly on the valve covers of the LS1, I didn't see any reason not to mount them where I did.  However, if I start experiencing coil failures, I will most likely move them, or mount them on the plugs using shock mounts. -- Mark S.
