Default Tall, fabricated valve covers for LS6
Anybody have experience and recommendation with FAB'd tall valve covers for the LS6. Would like to keep the coils in the stock location.

The motor has a T&D shaft rocker system that needs more clearance

you can get mod your valve covers and install a vc gasket that a company sells (hinson) that is 1/2" thick to lift the covers up. I have etp heads and crower shaft mounted rockers and thats what I did.

Longer plug wires will be needed, breather holes will need to be drilled and relocating coils could be necessary also.
