Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
It’s Seymour EN-48. The valve covers were wet-sanded and polished. It sprays very thin, so multiple layers are needed, and cures slowly, but seems durable so far

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
I’m too cheap for Delmo’s stuff, though it is very nice. The adapter I bought on eBay off of a guy in Australia, but it looks like Holley now sells them for ~$120. I’ll be using Fitech to run the engine, so SD for me

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
It's just dupli-color chevy orange-red #DE1607 from a local parts store. The coil covers are the Holley big block style covers. They were painted black, then masked using a set of decals that go on the script SBC valve covers, painted orange, then decals removed, then cleared over.

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
Hi guys,
I am new to the forum. I have recently finished a restomod 1986 K30 4x4 starting with an ugly ex-army truck. I will post a new thread on the build soon to try to help anyone else on a project like it. There are alot of nice swaps on here I could have learned from, I didn't know they were here! 2016 L96 6.0/4L80/205 Josh |

I like your style, too. How’s you get the big block valvecovers to fit?

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
Curious to know who's using stock plastic engine covers vs. keeping the intake exposed. I'm trying to decide if I paint up my intake or keep and paint the cover. I have the Gen IV truck intake meaning it works well but doesn't look very good.
Thoughts? |

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
Here are a few examples of a smoothed out stock truck intake.
The last pic is a intake I did for a customer (Blakes 67 GMC build) in that build I show step by step on how I did it. Mark

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
Hey guys, I need some help.. this is my first swap and I have no idea what I’m getting into. I have a 6.0/4l80 from a Denali, I replaced the intake from a TBSS. I’ve ordered a adapter plate to use the throttle body from the 6.0 intake. What does these connect to?
