When you first posted some sneak pics I tried finding that bracket. I love it for the coil mounts. I love it more for the fuel pressure regulator mounting. How'd you order it though? Or are you making one?

Email Evan then followed up a few days later via IG. He is slammed with Baja 400 prep so haven’t ordered yet. That’s the way you need to do it.

Moisture and heat might be less in that location

They look nice and fancy, but what is the advantage compared to the regular mounting position on the valve covers?

Correct. I have 2 options because of how my headers and exhaust are designed. Either remote on the fire wall or under the header by the motor mounts. Now normally it would not matter but since I will be wheeling fordyce and rubicon regularly I have to consider the water crossing whether rubicon springs or fordyce creek. The creek crossings on fordyce can get pretty spicy!! So intake and coils as high as possible. Plus the fact I needed a support for the air cleaner. Was an added bonus. I would have to pay the guys to make that bracket so realistically it’s not much if any additional cost.

I run the same one on my engine with a flipped intake and use it to mount my throttle body cable. It also makes for nice plug wire routing.

What did you do with the oil pressure port on the valley. I’m going to cut the factory down and retap it to 1/8” NPT then add a 90* to clear the intake.

I run the oil pressure sensor off my oil cooler adapter and have it capped off on the valley
 
How much does that coil relocation bracket cost? Cause that looks real easy to make, especially if you welded it together instead of bending it.

About $160. They have a cnc plasma but I think it might be more to have them make it. I know it’s not difficult per se but I gotta pay for their time to design and build.

Hahah I know!! I’m itching to see progress. It’s so wild seeing this thing come together after so many years it just sat idle. They had a few small Jobs roll in so they took a break on mine. I’ve been sending a bunch of parts down there. Drive shaft parts should be ready for shipping today from JE Reel. They should be getting back to work on my junk this week I think.
 
Ok so here is my next first world problem/decision.
I’m running a stock 4l80e it was a GM reman from a crashed work truck at my old work. I had lil Dave go through it and he said it was brand new inside resealed it and said run it until I break it then he will build it. So stock valve body clutches etc. Part of me wants reverse valve body to go from 1st to reverse fast when climbing. But I don’t want to loose auto function just yet as all reverse valve bodies are manual. I do have lock up converter for freeway sections. They make a paddle shifter kit for the 4l80e that’s pretty cool but I feel like at some point enough is enough. lol. But on the other hand if I want it I shouldn’t feel dumb about it or others thinking it’s too much. People buy rubicons to put tons and atlas’s in them! lol

If you want it, get it.

I think being able to shift without taking your hands off the wheel is a good thing.

I have the Twist Machine paddles for the 6l90.

That’s a cool
Setup. What column/quick release and wheel are you running?
 
Put a RMVB and use the shifter to shift the damn thing.
Ain't no need for an auto function.
 
The got the boat sides tacked in and just like I though there is little to no room for exhaust. Spin Tech said they can make me a custom shell so we will see if they will make a triangle muffler!! lol
If they do that’s a game changer. :grinpimp:
