Default Valve covers

I got a set of 02 heads going on my new motor into my 98 Z28. I have valve covers to fit and coil pack brackets but I have no bolts for either. Will the bolts off a set of 98 valve covers fit or not? Do I have to get special bolts for the covers? Thanks in advance-Jon

Jon, your car is apart, why not try it out.. lol. See if one of the bolts from the old setup will thread through the coil brackets, and not be to long to make contact with the valve cover.

What coil brackets did you get? B/C different vehicles with LS/LQ motors had different style of coils.

You might have to tap the holes on the bracket for the bolts that hold the coils to the brackets (if I remember correctly). Other than that, everything should bolt right up.
