#8 plug wire hitting the heater box
I remember hearing some guys complain about this along time ago. What do you do to take care of it? After installing my motor, I've noticed that the #8 plug wire boot at the coil pack is hitting the heater box. Pics/help greatly appreciated!
thanks!

Yeah I was going to try and move it around or even make a different mounting bracket but that's alot of work if there is a simple fix. You not running a heater/ac box in yours??

theres an expensive fix with the relocated packs 
i cant find a pic close up of anyone running the full box
tom's car had the box and everything in there.. maybe he will chime in

speartech's got the truck pack on there

just watched 5.0camaros vid again and hes got the ls1 packs and a full box so maybe he's got the solution
my solution was to remove everything for max clearance until i can get a proper box

*When you gonna help me figure out my wiring????
Anyone else?? I think speartech or someone "modified" their AC/heater box for clearance. Not sure what I'm going to do. I've been waiting on a call back from Bruce Hawkins for some swap details.

If the tubular member clears that means it must be a small drop crossmember. So if ya shim your stocker 1/4-1/2 it should be the same.
