Default Valve cover and coil packs.

Hi

I just got the 5.3 heads and am installing them on my ls1 and noticed that I have the old styled (98) valve covers on my current heads. So now I need to order some 5.3 valve covers that I didn't think I would need.

question is will my coil packs off of my 98 valve cover fit on the newer center bolt covers without modification?

thank you

Just. It the Chevy valve covers off summit with the relocation brackets. That's what I'm going to do. Added bonus is, cleaner look

I didn't see a package deal on summit. Do they offer a valve cover, gasket, coil pack bracket and screw package? If not I'll probably get the valve cover used and buy the rest at summit.

You will need a mounting bracket for those VC's. I picked up a nice billet pair on Amazon for $40.
