Cool LS valve covers
I thought this was a really cool mod for making LS motors retro.
This was the Holly shop truck build posted on the Classic Trucks site. |

Re: Cool LS valve covers
They are coil covers, in actuality. The original valve covers are still under them and so are the coils. They do look good on a motor, though. It definitely gives a big block look to the engine.

Re: Cool LS valve covers
My favorite are the ones the guys at Muscle Car Restorations used on this '69 Z/28. They look like and are stock small block valve covers they adapted to fit over and act as coils covers.
http://www.musclecarrestorations.com..._1001.JPG.html Here's a link to the article. Unfortunately, they don't go in to any detail on what they did to them for it to fit. http://musclecarrestorations.com/carcraftcamaro.html Edit: I found a link to the car craft article, but still a little short on details. http://www.carcraft.com/featuredvehi...o/viewall.html

Re: Cool LS valve covers
Looks like he kept it injected too, just painted the fuel rails black so they dont stand out and threw a stock air cleaner on top of the throttle body.
