Default Edelbrock LS1 two piece timing cover #4254

Just spoke to them and was told release date of May 15th if anyone is interested. Couldn't get the MSRP on it though.

Update: found it for $211 at a large parts place. Wow, that's half the price of the other one. I hope it's of decent quality, I know I'm in.

Be prepared to wait! I have had it on order since march....it gets "backordered" every two weeks. For such a simple piece, they are obviously having problems with it.

Quicker cam shaft swaps. Youd be able to pull the cam out by simply dropping teh radiator, water pump, and unbolting the rockers. removing the pulley to get the front cover off has been a giant pain in teh *** to those that routinely swap cams in and out.

I'm ready for the wait. I have a whole car to finish before I get one of these. Hopefully, it won't be too long though.
