Default Edelbrock 2 piece timing cover

Been on the phone for an hour tring to hunt down when this thing will be available and for how much. Been told by Edelbrock and by Summit it will be released on 3-28 and it will cost around $220!!!!! That is a killer price imo. I saw a thread on here awhile ago asking about this so I figured I would post up and let whoever is interested in this piece know. Also, this was the more expensive LS2/LS7 cover with the cam sensor in the front. The LS1 should be about $20 cheaper.

The LS1 cover is already on the Jegs Website. I think it was around $170.00. Which is a far cry from the $425.00 that QTP wants for it. Edelbrock is also coming out with a bunch of other stuff for the LS1, Water Pump, Intake Elbows, and some other stuff. Nice to have some competitively priced products out there.

I like the idea of a 2 piece cover but wasn't going to pay $470 for one but this one looks the goods. It should fit a L76 block eh?

cheers

hahaha, I JUST got off the phone with Edelbrock too. I was told the are back ordered till March 28th aswell, and will retail for 248$ #4254 & 258$ #4255 direct from them, but will be 10-20% cheaper from a dealer such as pepboys or whoever.

I change cams more than underwear, so I believe this is in my very near future, lol.
