Having a difficult time finding cool valvecovers that will match my 98 Corvette

heads bolt pattern.

Can anyone suggest some dealers that I might try?

Thanks,

there are only a handful of aftermarket one available....most are insanely $$$


best bet is to clean up your stockers....cut off excess bolt bosses, and things like that...smooth it out and repaint.

You sound like your looking for some aftermarket covers. But have you ever seen a 98 engine with coil relocation and the stock covers powercoated to match your cars color? You also have the option of polishing your stock covers. With alittle bit of work and some polishing compound from Harbor Freight they look like chrome. As far as a perimeter
bolt pattern cover goes your talking high dollar and custom billet parts.

Are those center bolt covers or perimeter?

Those will require you to buy their billet spacer(another $185.00) to convert a 97/98 ls1 to centerbolt and then you still have to buy the centerbolts of your choice.

You didnt mention if you have a coil relocation or are willing to do it. If you relocate your coils, there are a the GMPP ones that I think are nice.

Or you can get these from Edelbrock...

I think they look pretty nice actually, especially the blacked out ones.

Dont think GMPP sells perimeter bolt covers other than stock.

Sounds like a reason to buy some new heads!

OR a set of used centerbolt castings and do a swap, but thats a lot of work for valve covers
