 I'm not sure I would want the coils to be mounted directly on the
engine...
 I would expect the vibrations to cause 1) early failure of the coil,
and 2)
 easier high terminal wire disconnections.  I've also noted some wire
 terminal connections "worked" to the point of failure with engine
 vibrations...

 Let me know of your experiences with solid engine attachment and
coil/
 wiring life expectancies.

Gary,  the photo is not that easy to interpret, but the coils
attached to the engine mount, not the  engine.   Jerry

FWIW,  The LS-1 coils were designed to be bolted directly to the engine, as
they are in the LS-1 V8.
