If I mount the MSD on the firewall behind the driver, do I need to worry about it being in the way of the rainhats? Just tiring to get everything ready for the engine.

No, that is exactly where mine is mounted. MSD6al mounted vertically behind driver. Put the engine in first then mount the msd where there is room.

Mine has plenty of room right behind the driver. My MSD's bolted to a plate attached to the battery tray, so it faces the back of the passenger seat sandwiched between the battery and the firewall.

PB, I mounted my MSD on the trunk away from the engine. IIRC, it doesn't interfere with anything in the trunk and I can still put the targa back there. Not sure if it shows on my build thread or not. Drop me a PM and I'll get some pics if it isn't.

tomeric914,
From that, I guess the orange and black wires in the sheath from the MSD to the coil can be a good distance away with no issues?

As long as the black and orange aren't extended farther than the factory MSD harness then you should not have any issues.

^^^ Same here, MSD boxes are in the rear trunk w/ no problems.

Should have no problems with a firewall mount if mounted high and on drivers side.
It's where i mounted mine, different intake setup but i think you can see.
