Those are nice, but I would hate to have to cover them up with the coil packs.

I got a $300 reserve on them. I wouldn't cover them up with the coil packs. It would look best with the coils relocated imho. racrx

yep.....but its too bad they welded bungs on for the coil packs......really messes up the look and if you grind them off then what? its going to look like crap

Moroso needs to go into production of these with AND without the coil pack bungs

I agree, grinding them off would be a shame. I tried to talk Rick Moroso into going into production with them, and a race version also, but he said they would cost to much to produce. I tried..lol. vic

I talked to a moroso tech guy a few months ago about these and he said they have made a few custom ls1 sets for customers but who knows if he is correct. They cant cost anymore then the ones they make for big cheif heads.

There full of it. Rick Moroso had one set made, the ones in the pics on ebay, there off his C5 race car. I think he said something like $400 to market them with a 28-32% profit margin.

People would buy them for $400 new. Sheetmetal welded valvecovers always cost more than stamped or cast ones. Its understandable due to labor.
