Default Valley Cover with breather....

I ran into this picture online on the Chevy High Performance web site.



Unfortunately they didn't not have any kind of information as to were they got the cover.

I was wondering if anyone here knows who makes this valley cover and where I can get it.

Thanks in advance,

Ross

I've never seen it either. Looks easy as hell to make though. Even if you don't have access to a tig welder, you could make that yourself pretty easy.

I wonder if anyone else has seen it though? Pretty cool.

good picture to show the sensor in the back, is that the oil pressure sending unit?
people might find this useful when doing the ls6 intake swap

Yes, that is the oil pressure sending unit in the back.

Don't know that having that post directly in the middle of incoming air is the best choice.

That post isn't in the way of anything. Remember it is a carburated set up.

yeah, it would be right in between the first two intake runners, but i don't see how there would be room for a filter on the top of it even with the manifold...maybe i'm just not seeing it in my head.
