wait, wait wait.....one cam cover with ribs , as cam covers should be made, and 1 without? That simply won't do!
That's pretty much it... one has bosses to bolt coils down and one has only ribs so I can't bolt anything down
For the forward bank, I'm pretty limited in what I can do. The original system used a waste spark coil pack bolted to the baseplate on the rear cam cover as shown above... half the plug wires went straight down, while half the plug wires went across the engine. With no way to bolt coils to the front valve cover, I need to run plug wires to that bank.
The question I still have is whether I can use the '06 NorthStar pencil coils on the rear bank with a custom baseplate, while using a 4 pack of LS coils + wires on the front OR if I want to use LS coils for all 8 cylinders, and mount them all to the old style baseplate.
The part of me that wants to watch the world burn says to use pencil coils on the rear bank and LS coils + wires on the front bank, but the most straightforward way to do things will probably be with 8 LS coils and custom plug wires.
