Switching to 99 and up valve covers. Im going with a set of 5.3 truck heads, right now its got the perimeter bolt heads on the car. When I switch to the 99 and up valve covers, how much is gonna change to be able to put them on. I.E. the coil pack mounting, PVC hook ups, and oil fill locations? Thanks

Re: Switching to 99 and up valve covers. You will either have to relocate your coils or get a set of coil brakets. The oil fill is the same but the PCV fittings are differant. I did away with my PCV system so I'm not sure if you just need differant fittings or what. I know that the newer style has a smaller fitting.

Re: Switching to 99 and up valve covers. I got mine used with the coil brackets. The biggest pain was the PCV. I spent an entire day and a tank of gas trying to find the right parts.
If you are unable to find the pieces locally send me a PM and I can get them for you.

What did you have to do to remove the PVC. What did you use for filters? I am just thinking about relocating the Coil packs, so now that wont be a problem.
