Are those PML valve covers? Motor looks GREAT. Where did you get them? Also, how did you plug the big holes in the top of them up in the center near the intake manifold? What is your provision for filling with oil? I love these, and want to put them on my LS2 going in my 240z, but I can't figure out how to deal with the (breather?) holes being in the wrong place compared to stock and no oil fill hole. I am using with my stock LS2 intake with aftermarket fuel rails. Please advise. My vote is to keep air cleaner as is; love the patina in contrast to high-tech motor.
I got them here: http://www.yourcovers.com/ You can also get them at speedway motors but why not go to the source? They are very high quality. I plan to use the holes in the covers for a pcv and breather/oil filler. I stuck the stock 5.3L pcv in one and it fit perfect, just need to find a removeable breather that fits the other, that shouldn't be a problem and I'll use it to fill the oil too. Thanks!

Yep, already got one in the works...I hate oil leaks. I plan to run a pcv valve in one cover to the pre-filter side of the air cleaner and use a filter in the other cover so there will be some flow, like a stock unit.
