We like them alot, no issues with sealing. They are a really sturdy peice and i definatly would not hesitate to run them, you might consider relocating the coils so you can show them off.

You can get the coil brackets from SDPC that bolt right onto these.

SCPC also sells ones that say chevrolet on the top they are nice. I ordered them, should be here Tuesday. If you wanna see some, search "aftermarket valve covers" theres a entire thread with pictures of all different ones.

For pricing contact Sdpc,

Im not 100% sure the wires will work, we used truck wires as they are a little bit longer and we had a bit of slack.

It has a oil fill hole with cap, and a 3/8s barb for the breather, it is not in the same place so you will have to figure something out for it.

cool well Jake i will be running a LS6 valley cover also, so as long as one of the valve covers has a PCV 3/8 port i can vent them to the Procharger intake hat.

How much taller are they ? think my wires have some slack , but not much

I would say they are marginally taller, not sure on a exact. They are defiantly a show stopper valve cover, and when used with the msd coil packs like we had setup, they just look plain awesome.

Jake can you see if a Taylor, MSD or stock wire would still fit , and that using the coil bracket that mounts on the covers
