I think you have to re-locate the coil packs first

Here is a good link to the same topic, not sure if it has any links.

Someone somewhere makes a coil relocation kit. Or do you can it yourself with some tools. I have no idea where to get valve covers

Katech offers aftermarket valve covers that can be customized. See their website www.katech-inc.com Look under their LS1/LS6 Products.

Looks like they need to relocate the coils.

ARE sells welded sheetmetal covers, I have a set coming (purchased used). SDPC can order you a set of C5R covers, as well as just about any of our sponsors. I know MTI can get them too.

I looked all over for some for my 98 because the harland sharp rockers would not clear the covers...

Gen 3 performance was gonna make me some but the guy kept procrastinating until I finally got fed up and put the stock rockers back in the car so I could drive it....benn 6 months on the original 1 month wait and didn;t get an email or a call...

I got the valve covers from www.billetfab.com they were a tad under 500 for covers with custom engraving.
coil relocation kit from www.thunderracing.com look at the pics and you can see where they are located by following the wires.
You can see the wires going down to the left there.


A shot of the cover



dont give me grief about the blue. I like it.
