Default Valve Covers Poll

Just trying to take a poll if LS1 owners are interested. (Marketing R&D)

1- Cast aluminum Valve covers for around $250. (would be like stock but taller by 1>1.5 inches, same stock O ringged gaskets)


This is not a gimmic, I live in a country that has no taxes, humongeous industry capabilities and free trade export laws). Not to mention big aluminum production factories and casting industries.

would these have provisions for the coil pack brackets or would you need to relocate them?

Yep, just like a stock top, a little cleaner.
The only thing I can think off is with a 1 inch increased in length, we probably would need a custom length plug wire.
I'm working on a set with a welder machinist, for my personal use.
When finished it would be just a matter of making a custom cast (can do at a reasonable price)
The prototype would have welding marks but the cast ones wouldn't.
Of course they would be for 99+

It would take awhile. First I got to get the prototype done before my season in Sept. I would say at least 6 months for production of some sort.

It's the LS1 community's interest in such a product, that I would like some feedback on.

Well i guess no one is interested so It is just a prototype for me. I'll post pics when finished and installed.
