[QUOTE="96dreamer, post: 16444440, member: 52560"] I knew i wanted to something a little more robust for ignition than the coil packs with coil on plug wiring I had before. I also didn't want to put the factory coils back on the car purely for asthetics. I settled on trying to make ls2 d585 coils work in a coil on plug configuration. Anyone familiar with these knows they are a pretty robust coil that can make a ton of power. Coils removed from the mounting bracket and steel collars removed. [ATTACH]1648556[/ATTACH] Amazingly the factory boots fit right over the stub on the bottom of the ls2 coils. [ATTACH]1648557[/ATTACH] When dropped into the heads they almost look like they were meant for it. The only issue is they stick up probably an inch higher than the factory coils. [ATTACH]1648558[/ATTACH] In comes the heavy fabrication materials. Using only the finest that was available I used the factory coil cover hold down bolts to locate a piece of cardboard and traced the outline of the coil to the bottom. Took a few tries but I got one cut out pretty tight to the shape of the coil. Once I had the first one I transferred the dimension to solidworks and patterned the layout. I printed this out, glued to a piece of cardboard and cut the coil reliefs out. [ATTACH]1648561[/ATTACH] I scribed the pattern to the plug cover. [ATTACH]1648562[/ATTACH] Then I Drilled out all of the corners of the reliefs and used a coping saw and file to get the holes as tight to the coils as I could. [ATTACH]1648563[/ATTACH] The result was a pretty slick factory cop cover that not only locates the coils but holds them down and allows the heat sink to cool the coil.
