Here's older pic's of what the bay used to look like from 2008:

Here's the new pics after I re-did the plug wires, other changes were done over the years, but the plug wires had to be fixed for various reasons, mainly minor oil leaks.

Looks good. Ive just never liked keeping them that close to the headers.

 

I prefer the wires under the headers/manifold, but those look very clean running along the rail.

 

Looks good. I've had mine like that for years with no problems at all. I like it because if you look head on at the motor, you really can't even see the plug wires.

 

route them the way you like I never go out of my way to route mine extra cleanly.

 

Did you use the same looms?

 

Yeah, I actually did use the same looms. I bought a set of the "Stage 8" Header Bolts from Summit, then got the idea to make a bracket that would hold the looms off of the header bolts instead of the valve covers.

For years I've been plagued with blowing out the header gaskets and minor oil leaks, so this fix... solved both problems. It took me a full day to make the brackets. Very tedious job cause each bracket had to have (2) 7/16" hex cuts to fit exactly over the header bolts and it had to fit both header bolts. A lot of "check and fit" then file some more. The brackets now fit over the header bolts and are held in-place with a clip, hold the header bolts from loosening and also gave me the ability to mount the looms. I like...

 

Mine are old school, I to have never done anything special with the plug wires. Your's look awfully nice.
