Have you tried em yet? I've seen em several times and was under the impression they bolt right on. I don't think there's any differences in the vette LT1 except maybe the exhaust manifolds.

They will fit, try putting them on.....I belive you have to cut down the back a little bit to clear the fire wall but im not sure.


People put them on because it makes the engine bay look nice for Fbodies.

You will have to clearance them in certain areas - mainly around the fuel lines. You will also have to get the mounting pins that screw into the manifold, if you didn't pick them up.

I bought a set and turned around and sold them. Too much cutting to do to get them on.

The Fuel Lines are where they don't really clear, you have to kinda notch that part out.

k thanks guys. I didn't get the pins but i can go back and grab them. I did try to line 'em up and did notice they don't fit real well without modding them. I just thought they'd look nice to cover up some of the crap in the motor area. ~Cole~

Yeah they require modding, I did it once a while back and did not like the results. A lot of trimming around the fuel lines.

I have thought about trying it again recently.
