ill look for some pics, but you need to cut a pretty big chunk of the back of the passenger side. you also have to notch a little for the throttle cable bracket and the oil dipstick on that side.

the driver side just needs another fuel line cutout. should look identical to the other notch thats already in it. general rule of thumb is to cut it at the other side of the "5.7" logo (where the raised ribs stop)

best idea is just lay them down and get a sharpie to trace whereever there is contact. il try to get some pics later of mine...

yeah that would be better becasue i realized that after i cut mine to fit, i changed my mind and painted my valve covers, so i dont have any decent pictures, just send the pics to me and ill do what i can.

p.s. im working on a pretty horrible paper right now too, so dont expect anything really quick

fast01 did a better job than i could have done, thats exactly what you need to do.

you cant see it in that picture but you need to cut the front corner of the passenger side just a little to get the throttle cable to thread through

if you dont have AIR, then you dont need to do anything to the drivers side...i learned that after i traced the template off a car that has AIR

pics:



my drivers side is for sale if you have AIR and want to trade me...the red CORVETTE was completely scuffed and is filled in with dyn-a-lite...it just needs 1 tiny spot filled yet that you can only see/feel in person; but its otherwise ready for paint

let me know if you wanna trade
