Converting Big Block to Coil per Plug

[Vegas69]

That's one of the things I like least obout the LSX motors is all the coils. I'd come up with a plan to hide them if it were me installing them. Another thing to consider is your fuel tank. I know you road race the car and starving the pump for a split second will cause you problems with injectors. You need to build a really good tank where you can get away with a little more with float bowls. I can certainly understand why you would want injection for drivability. Just wanted to throw out some thoughts.

granatelli ( sp ? ) makes some killer valve covers for a bigblock to hold the coils and they also make some coil covers that match . i also want to convert my 502 to 8 coils but i want to keep the carb i have and not run efi . i was going to call MSD and see if they have a stand alone timing controll to run this set up .

I'm already running a Ricks tank with A1000 in-tank and baffled. I know there have been some issues with Rick's on the track but typically only if run low.
