'02 Avalanche with 5.3l Question:

I just picked up a super clean '02 Chevy Avalance with a 5.3 with 50k miles on it. Its super clean. I had an idea, just for fun. Are there any Corvette fuel rail covers that I can make fit on my engine? Something along the lines of these:

Not trying to serve any purpose, just a fun thought...

I think it would be cool and clean up the engine compartment if I can make them work. any thoughts?

Re: '02 Avalanche with 5.3l Question:

Problem with the vette covers is the trucks use a intake that is way taller so those will not fit.....unless you swap intakes too, but then you run into more problems. Best bet would be the 3 piece Vortec Max/Escalade covers, they will bolt right on.
