Which updated valve cover to buy

I have an '04 Avalance 5.3 in a '78 Caprice swap. After doing a lot of reading I need to change the driver side valve cover to the newer valve cover that has the redesigned pcv baffles, but I don't know what part number to order. Will I need to modify the coil brackets?

Thanks,
Brandon

Anyone?

I thought the smoke on startup and pcv issue was a common problem on 5.3s, so I assumed these part numbers would be easy to find.

From my understanding, any Gen4 cover is what your looking for. I try to find LS7’s or LS3’s used with little miles. Try CorvetteForum classifieds if you don’t see any here. Many will tell you what you want to hear. Be cautious.
