Trickflow heads and intake on a 98

[jabird]

I am trying to figure out where to put the ignition coil...anyone cross this bridge?

 

[duff daddy]

why dont you try to move the PS resivior and then bolt the coil in the stock location....

 

[jabird]

The stock coil location is about 1" too high for the radiator line to pass. I'm looking at fabricating a bracket lower in the stock position or next to the passenger side coil. Thanks for the suggestions Duff, anyone else have this kit on a non-cop motor?

Another shot of the motor...

NICE SETUP! TRICKFLOW HEADS ARE AWESOME! thats what I run on my 5.0 pushrod, the 2 valve heads intake is 1 of the best for the non pi/pi swapped cars. they make isane numbers n/a

 

[jabird]

Thanks, Jeff, T/F says they are good for an additional 100 hp n/a. This car is already STS twin turbo so should be around 500 crank hp.

dont let those numbers fool you. I asked the TF rep at the NMRA superbowl when they cam out and claimed 375 hp from it with just the heads and intake and NOTHIGN else. I asked if the nubmers were corrected, on a chassis or engine dyno. he had no answers. They are good heads and are one of the better ones out there but I will be waiting a few years (5 or so) to let them get some stuff figured out. Until then SVO heads are the best.

cant be the best when there the only head besides stock and SVOs. SVOs are hard to come by.

They arent when you know who to talk to

well la di da.

 

[jabird]

I cut the factory ears off and fabricated a steel mounting plate that lowered the coil pack about an inch.

 

[jabird]

While this solution will work, I would still consider mounting the driver's side coil pack next to the passenger side for more clearance.

Great Solution!

Looks like a very tidy fix to a rather annoying problem.

nice fix. looks good.. just watch for rubbing on the top of the plug wire socket and rad hose. dont want to rub through the hose.
post some numbers when you get it runnning!
