There are BBC plug wire kits available that are ideal for under header applications. Like in Fotoboy's application, the MSD HP500EFI kit is designed to be run under the headers and the lengths are perfect. When I ran my plug wires under the headers, I was using motor plates and kept them tight to the block using a mount off the stock motor mount bolt holes. I was using coated Casler headers and never had any problems with burnt boots.

Thanks. I will check out the MSD kit. Coated headers are definitely the way to go.
I was wanting to do this also and have seen wires clamped together (as in pic above) or even wire tied together without using wire seperators. It makes the clearence issues a little better when they are bundled like that, but will this not eventually cause a problem with the wires arcing across each other??
I have run my wires under the headers for over a year now and have not burned a set of wires yet. When I was running them over the heads I went through 2 sets in less than a year. I am using the thundervolt wires(10mm). I have them zip tied together and some of them pulled up against the block to keep them off the headers. I used this set up on my 468 and now on my ZZ502 with no problems
