engine cover question
hey guys. i'm a square body guy, but i have done a 2004 5.3/4l60e swap. my question to you guys is this:
can i simply buy the vortec max (3 piece) engine cover and bolt it on? or is there a bracket i'll need to buy/fab? any help is much appreciated!! engine is from a 2004 avalanche if that makes any difference. |

Re: engine cover question
Ill check for SURE tomorrow, I just swaped a LQ9 into a square that has the 3-piece Escalade cover.....
The coil covers bolt to the valve covers & intake manifold, On a 04 5.3 I dont think the bolt hole/insert for the right side cover is in the intake manifold (arrow)...A insert is easily added. The bracket for the original engine cover will work for the "MAX" top cover. |
