I have a 2000 trans am and ive built a 383 stroker. We put Comp rocker arms and pushrods, this is where the problem comes along the stock valve covers are way to short........ We were gonna put the engine in tomorrow but now we are at a major hold up, i cant find any tall valve covers that will support the coils, im bolting the stock coils back on.. Any help with a place to buy them would be great appreciated. Moroso has a cover but i dont think it has the threaded holes so i can mount the coils on them. Thanks for the advice. Im in a hell of a bind....

 

they make spacers that you can put under the valve cover to get rocker to cover clearence.. i would do that if i was you!

 

thanks do know of anywhere that sells them?

 

Trickflow makes them and Summit sells them.

 

I just found those but are they tall enough? they only said half inch..

 

surely thats enough to clear.. unless your runnin some kinda crazy cam lol..

 

What rockers? I have the pro mags and they clear just fine. I have been told LT1's though wont clear..besides why the hurry you aint drivin that car anywhere in that 2 foot blizzard your about to get down that way lol

 

i just went thru this last week-UMI in PA has them for 1/2 the price of trickflow, comes with everything needed, reuse your old v/c bolt seals, slid them over the new pieces, cut and insert the rubber in the groove on the spacer, your done-they have a ledge that holds them in place
i ordered them on a Thursday, they were here Friday, but called in advance and pleaded, lol
i bought them off ebay, but you can prob order them direct-they had a run on them, so check stock

Not to get off topic but pro mags do work on lt1's and its not because of the height issue. The supports in the cover hit the rockers you just have to know how to cut the supports with a dremel. i have done many lt1's without an issue.

 

I bought my spacers from Speed Inc a couple months ago, so they carry them also.
