As mentioned, several of us have done the relays on the V8s. Randy hid his under the radiator splasher. I placed mine on a removable module and mounted them near the battery tray. I wanted a place that could reach original headlight wiring with new terminal strip and relay signals could be obtained from original terminal strip. That space chosen was close to both yet not really visible. I could have taken the power from horn relay but decided to go all the way back to battery solenoid connection for a separate protected feed.
Am thinking the same approach for the 47. Haven't decided whether to place the module high and visible near the terminal strip or hide it under the battery tray next to where I installed a cable operated main battery disconnect switch. Will probably be near strip because the new wires to the headlight buckets were the original length. Those are probably not long enough to neatly go down under the tray. Best solution might be the module under and a separate strip just for the headlights on top. That way the original strip still does the parking lights and relay signals with the new strip for the light feeds.
