didnt get it done had to tear into the front half of the tranny to fix a leak. had to wire in the lingenfelter control module and reroute/fix/wiretie the wiring harness for a nicer install. got stumped on what to do trying to mount the 98 perimeter style coil packs on to the corvette brackets. is there a different set of coil brackets i can make fit the 98 coil packs or is it going to have to be a custom job?? anyways motor and tranny are installed, brake lines done.... well all that is left to do is radiator, driveshaft, torque arm, exhaust, and a couple little odds and ends. im thinking another 3 or 4 hours and itll be done

I think your going to either need to fab something up or just get a set of newer style coil packs and brackets. I dont THINK you can put the 98 coils in the newer brackets. But ive only used truck style coils, so IDK for sure.

you've made tremendous progress there. Don't be in too much of a hurry and miss something

are the truck coils better, whether it be 5.3 or 6.0?

[sman]

Yes, higher output. "Supposedly" anyway. There is a big long thread on tech about it. I believe the LS2 actually uses these same coils. They are round and have a heatsink on top.

[DETROITMUSCLE]

The coils are not the issue just get the center bolt brackets

[sman]

I know, but his coils wont fit in center bolt brackets right?

If so, then he would need new coils/brackets or have to fab something right?

[DETROITMUSCLE]

They will fit fine I still have my original 98 coils the mounting points on the car coils are the same, the trucks may be different.

[sman]

ok, guess i was confused. Because according to post 92, he couldnt figure out how to mount them.

As far as I know 98-02 LS1 Fbody coils are all identical.

[Formula Z]

ordered the correct brackets

[1BADAIR]

You didn't Ask for those. Think I have a set somewhere

[Formula Z]
