Center bolt valve cover options ?
I am getting ready (sort of) to drop a 5.7 out of a '99 Tahoe in my Blazer. I want to put something a little more eye catching on it then the stock black valve covers. I plan on staying with the center bolts, so show me what you are running. I have thought about using '87-'94 Corvette covers, so pictures with that would be nice.

Get adaptors and use any valve cover you want. Dont narrow yourself down with center bolt crap.

Re: Center bolt valve cover options ?
I got these for mine but I will would go with the aluminum Chrome the next time for easier cleanning. These aluminum are very hard to keep the spots off.

Re: Center bolt valve cover options ?
Thanks for the pics, I considered the adapters,but I plan on using the factory AC which leave very little clearance for the valve covers. The one person that I knew who used the adapter also had problems with them leaking. I have thought about painting or powder coating them, so I am leaving that option open too.

Re: Center bolt valve cover options ?
I've got the chrome version of the covers Mudder has. They were spendy, but look sweet and are cake to clean.
