You'll never get too short a wire set.

This is a generic GM HEI over the valve cover, angled boot set for a SBC

This set is the longer wires designed to go under the headers

That ain't no sh*t. I guess manufacturers think that some people route their wires under the oil pan.

I still run MSD 8.5 wires on my engine. By the time I'm ready to replace them, the next set I'll use are Moroso Ultra 40 and they're only 8.65mm. I doubt you have a requirement where you need 10.5mm wires.
