Cool Custom LS7 Valvecovers!

Our site sponsor, ABear Motorsports ( www.abearmotorsports.com ) builds some top-quality billet valvecovers that hide the coil packs inside of them. I had them design a set of custom ones for my upcoming LS7 powered '69 Camaro SS. These should look wicked next to the CNC billet runner Beck cross-ram intake manifold that will be on the engine.





Here is the project car that this engine will be installed in:

lol. If you saw the photos of my last '69, you would know I can get a little crazy under the hood

This LS7 is much more than just a crate engine. Forged rotating assy by Callies, ET Performance LS7 heads, billet cross-ram custom intake by Beck, factory LS7 block, wet-sump oiling system. Crate engines are the easy way out

Tony, that's definately bling bling. I have to say though...is the LS7 overkill for a 'vert?? I hope that project turns out nice for ya but there is just nothing sweeter to me than a coupe.
