Anyone know the part number for these? I have heard the coils bolt right to them?? Might be good fit for my stroked 408 iron block with LS3 heads.

 

Anyone?

 

Left and right covers for LS9: GM part # 12602208, 12602209

 

Hey guys,
I'm unfortunately at work today so I ran them through the catalog for pricing for you..

12602208 - COST $110.70 LIST $194.22
12602209 - COST $110.70 LIST $194.22

 

Can anyone verify that they still use the typical ls2/ls3 coils?

 

Those coil packs are the same as the LS2/3/7/9 (Some LS7s used the round cylinder types) But they are the same ones..You can find those on L92s also etc...

 

Any way to get the PN for the oil fill tube and cap for those covers? Thanks so much already!

 

those valve covers are really nice and i like that they bolt directly to the cover. i wonder if the truck coils would bolt up. will have to look into it.

 

I will check Monday

 

Thanks. Probably the same as the other engines, but just want to be sure.

 

From my reasearch I found that they work with ls2/3/7 coils and it does have an oil fill its just on the back driverside on the stock ls9 motor. All you have to do is swap sides and you will have the oil fill in the stock spot

 

I'm pretty sure none of the "truck" style coils would fit directly onto those valve covers...

 

They do bolt right to the covers. They do require the LS9 specific harness to plug into them.

They also require the LS9 specific cap for the oil fill hole (from what I have seen). They do not take the extension neck. The LS9/A are supposed to have a valve inside the cap that releases pressure. Idk on that part.

They are such a good price and easy to use that I have used them on about 4 engine builds so far. The only strange part is they only come with 3 coils. You have to get the 4th plus the 2 bolts for them for each cover.

They do use the same mitsu coil that the LS2/3/7 has. So the bolt pattern is the same.

 

me too i have truck coils and these valve covers look so nice

 

so the part number above comes with 3 coils and the cover?

also, John. what is the price on a complete conversion. if i want to put this on my 02 ta.

and are these coils worst or better than truck coils?

thanks

I'll be the first to say it:



Seriously, I can't say I know what they look like, but they sound interesting.

 

Google is your Friend

 

I cannot say as the coils are "better" than the truck coils. I know they work well for alot of high HP LS9 builds out there using them. That is in itself a testament to something.

On the hand of pricing. The LSA/9 uses a coil harness that exits from the back of the valve cover for space reasons obviously. You can use any harness that will plug into the LS2/7 coil to save some money from buying a new harness, but that rear exit also keeps down on clutter from the intake area. You would have to make arrangements on a stock harness though to make them plug in the rear.

The valve covers themselves are 132.84 a piece. Like mentioned earlier, they require 1 extra coil and 4 bolts. The coils are 68.75 per and the bolts are 3.05 per. Then factor in the valve cover cap @ 6.91.

If you want the rear exit harness they are side specific obviously, and are $75 per side.

I hope that helps.

 

so they just allow the coil to be bolted to the cover itself?
just like the old 97-98 perimeter bolt covers

 

You are correct. No bracket.

Plus they will clear the LS3 rocker arms without clearancing like the older LS valve covers have to be.
