Engine cover assistance needed I have a 5.3 Vortec in my '49 Fleetline. My present engine cover is from an SSR (not sure if it is the early or late version, since I'm not too hip on SSRs). As you can see from the pic, it doesn't look very spiffy. Has anyone mounted a different engine cover to a truck motor ... other than a stock one, of course. Thanks for any help that can be provided.

The best looking cover is the GTO's LS1/LS2. I am running no cover because I liked the way the LS6 intake manifold looks. Plus who like's popping a hood on newer cars and seeing plastic covers all over?!

I actually do kinda like the Max cover, it wont fit my application but it looks pretty good (might just be becouse my engine theme is black and red)
will the GTO covers you speak of fit a truck intake?
cus if he is going to swap intakes a cover is icky.

I'm not likely to change the intake ... I don't want to give up the low-end torque. So any Camaro/GTO cover isn't likely to work, to the best of my knowledge. I guess I'll just cover it with stickers and keep the hood closed.
