Default Valve covers

Putting the final touches on my L92 stroker. Need a nice set of valve covers to top it off. Using truck coils.

Any suggestions?

Grind down unneeded tabs and powder coat them wrinkle black or red.

These are for a coil relocate. I was going to relocate my coils, but decided to go a different route.

Have you looked at the Holley covers? OEM look and the coils bolt directly to the coversion with no brackets. I went with the wrinkle black ones.

They'll fit.

These Holley aluminum LS valve covers will give your Chevrolet LS series engine a totally new look without the need to relocate your ignition coils. They are manufactured from cast aluminum, come in four different finishes, and feature a billet aluminum oil fill cap. The valve covers eliminate the need for the factory ignition coil bracket. Instead, the coils bolt directly to the valve covers for a nice angled look! Holley aluminum LS valve covers reuse the factory gaskets and bolts, will work with .750 in. lift camshafts using stock-style rocker arms, and fit all ignition coils with 72mm spacing.

The Holley covers are your cheapest solution.

I use the truck coils on mine:

I ordered some ARE valve covers with valve spring oilers in them. I haven't installed them yet.
