Default Valley cover...no pcv or knock sensors?

Besides Edelbrock, does anyone know of a valley cover made without provisions for a pcv system or knock sensors. This is going on a LSX block for racing only.

Most companies that offer fabricated valve covers also offer plain valley covers. Check with Nasty Performance.

I did some google searching and came up with valley covers from Forrester Racing Engines and Turn Key Engine Supply. Anyone used these during your build?

That actually looks really good. I may end up welding a stock LS2 cover and making a couple passes on the surfacer to make it look good.
