Default Valve Cover Differences

Guys,

I cracked a valve cover on my '99 LS-1 motor. I found a set of '99 5.3 Silverado valve covers, cheap. Will these swap out? If not, what would I have to change? Coil bracket mounts? I'm not too concerned if there are PCV piping difference as I've already done the new PCV system.

TIA,

S

yup, the truck stuff PCV is simular to the vettes. If PCV isn't an issue, any 99 & cover will get the job done.
