Does anyone know of a company that makes custom valve covers for the LT1 / LT4? I need some that have a flat millable surface where I can have a shop's name engraved on the top (ie: going away from center-bolt style). I thought about having some sheetmetal versions made with outer bolt holes on the top, and then have a single plate with recesses underneath to go over the center bolts....then it would bolt on top. But, before going to that expense, figured I'd ask here first

Keep in mind, however, that those aren't "tall" covers, so custom valvetrain parts may not have enough room underneath.

Got mine off ebay...should be more then enough room for putting something on them.

Thanks for the info / links. Do ya'll know of anyone making Aluminum / Sheetmetal fabricated ones with a flat top? They all seem to be angle with a chamfered edge at the top and bottom of the face, which reduces the area that can be engraved......


maybe I need to practice on my tig skills

canton has some that have angled sides and not curved sides might even be less space to engrave though.

I currently have the Canton's with the chamfer that is angled (not rounded). Unfortunately, due to the placement of the center bolts and the angle, there isn't enough room to do what I need. I'm just going to bite the bullet and make what I need with a 1/4" thick top place that bolts on top of the center-bolt cover I make. That way I can have a full open plate to mill.
