are these fabricated valve covers compatible with my setup?
Hi all,
I have a 98 LS1 block with some minor upgrades. Still has stock rockers. It has the LS6 intake, 243 LS6 heads and stock LS1 tb. BBK fuel rails on the way.
will the valve covers pictured be fine with my set up, i see they dont have any tubes coming off them like the stock ones and i thought there should be at least one?? i also did the LS6 valley cover conversion. im curious how i would run the breather lines (or i believe thats the name) that originally went from the covers and PCV to the TB and intake etc. can any answer this and/or suggest how to run lines or what lines to run now that i did the PCV conversion??
Thanks

Check out the Holley Valve Covers. They are a little more than those but the coils mount right to the covers (no coil brackets), they have the breather tubes and they come with a nice looking billet oil cap.

If you want to run a PCV then you will need a fresh air inlet to the motor someplace. It will need to be plumbed into the throttle body so you get filtered and metered air.

My catch can is from Mike Norris motorsports it's the gen2. Here's a link http://www.mikenorrismotorsports.com...atch_Cans.html
The only thing I would replace is the little rubber grommets that are on the bolts. A couple of them are torn.
What other parts are you looking for lol I might have something?

I could probably do $100 shipped. Shouldn't be too much to ship. Mine are used though and I drilled and tapped the oil cap so not sure if you are wanting brand new and such.
