Custom LS7 Valvecovers! Our site sponsor, ABear Motorsports ( www.abearmotorsports.com ) builds some top-quality billet valvecovers that hide the coil packs inside of them. I had them design a set of custom ones for my upcoming LS7 powered '69 Camaro SS. These should look wicked next to the CNC billet runner Beck cross-ram intake manifold that will be on the engine. 
Here is the project car that this engine will be installed in:

did you really have to post this on two places on the board?! theres no tech value. this is a tech only board! thats a ban!
j/k of course
man thoes look nice. any mockup shots of them with the crossram intake for me to drool over?
if i could change one thing on them, id make the top part brushed alum.. but the rest of the cover polished... kinda how the light looks on that 2nd pic.... give it a sort of 2 tone bare alum look....

It really isn't much different than the plastic covers that everyone slaps on top of their LSX engines. The coil packs still work the same whether hot or cold.

Thanks Nine Ball, we appreciate it.
As for the coils, our test vehicle has had a set of our valve covers on for about 6 months now without an issue or engine fault code of any kind. Our test vehicle was used to tow a boat on 90+ degree days throughout the summer.
We'll supply some hard data soon as to how much heat it takes to kill a coil.

And just to clear up any possible confusion, we make valve covers to REPLACE the stock valve covers.
@ Mr. Dude - We do offer a multitude of finishes. Brushing included. Personally I really like them polished with brushed tops as well.
