Looks sick. Those valve covers are hot. What relocation bracket are you using? Did you lose ac and ps?

for all of u wondering about those valve covers those are not stock LT1 castings... I bet they're a aftermarket head made to work on a LT1 engine block. so unless u got $3000 to dish out u cant have them..... I am not positive but i have done a few of those set ups....

Trick flow makes a adapter so people with center bolt valve covers can run the eariler style valve covers.. it's not cheap but they do make it.. Here TFS-31500811 102.95 @ summitracing.com

BTW: Engine/Setup looks sweet i have those valve covers waiting to be installed on my soon to be finished motor.

Okay guys, to answer the questions about the valve covers....

I bought the covers from summit, like these ones

http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku

I primed and painted and wetsanded and then cleared the valve covers black... Had to hole saw 2 holes on passenger side valve cover.

Then I got a perimeter bolt conversion kit from trickflow, the brackets are made out of billet steel $80, but gmperformance parts has one kit for $150 that is billet aluminum. The trickflows brackets are very heavy due to how thick of steel. And you need to grind out to make clearance for the rocker arms.
