Default LS3 Engine covers using Holley Acc drive

Anyone know of a good source for custom LS3 Engine covers ? I'm using the Holley Acc drive set-up and the A/C and Alt may cause an interference problem.

OK, judging by the overwhelming response you are getting, I will give you an answer you can use. See how all your parts fit together, then trim the engine covers to clear any points of interference. That is what is usually done. It would be next to impossible to make covers to fit every accessory situation, which is why you have no responses besides mine. And as far as my first response, it was not kind, but very factual.

Tried to link a guy on facebook but it's a private page apparently.
Look for BH Custom Designs on facebook.

I personally like the look of the coils on the valve covers. What I did on the Cougar was get the Holley valve covers that get rid of the coil bracket and the coils bolt directly to the valve cover. Then I got the ridiculously expensive Grannatelli billet coil covers, had them bead blasted and hard anodized. This gives a really clean look while keeping things utilitarian...
