Building my own ignition....

I've gotten kind of sick of the serious mess that DLIDFIS has created under the hood of my Rx-4 so I'm playing around with the idea of building my own ignition system using LS series coils and possibly a CAS to trigger the whole thing. I know people have done similar setups before using haltech, motec, etc ecus to controll it all, but I'm just building a simple ignition system. No need for an expensive ECU on a carbed engine. Does anyone have any insight on this? I can't see why you couldn't use the stock CAS to trigger the coils themselves. Each individual coil has its own ignition module built in so it should be as simple as just wiring it all up. I'm no electronics expert though so I thought I'd ask before I start breaking things.
