I was thinking of a tube setup ala the old flathead F**ds except mounted to the lower valve cover bolts but I'm open for ideas or solutions. I don't want any of those billet dividers for sure.
What are you guys using? Any pics would definitely be appreciated.

Some 80's (I think) era chevy sedans had hidden routing under the exhaust manifold with metal heat deflectors. Might score these for free or almost at the JY. I kinda like that corregated automotive wire conduit. Fab up some hanger/mounting clips. Neat goes a long way in the appearance score.
