another head question

Like a lot of other guys here, I am thinking of purchasing a pair of the new Dart heads if the results look good (and if not, then AFR)
The problem is that I have a 98 with the parimeter bolts for the valve covers, and Dart ony sells center bolt. Is it much of an issue (cost) to change over to the center bolt VC setup? Is here a lot of fabrication etc.?

I want to keep it as "stock" looking as possible with the factory covers in place.
What will I need to make the swap?
Thanks

I would look around you can probably find a set of centerbolt valve covers to go with the new heads used for a reasonable price. Either here or on Ebay.

Just changed to center bolt heads on my 98. Fred Beans has the valve covers and coil brakets you will need. Change to the LS6 PVC system while you're at it. Total cost in parts is about $200 as I remember.

Thanks guys; I had hoped I could get the valve covers used from someone, but wasn't sure how much of an issue I would have with the coil packs.
Thanks again
