Default add oil with 1960 style valve cover
Doing a restro--LS to 1954 Corvette. Want to add 1960 valve covers. How to add oil and breather without cutting valve cover?

Not sure what the valve covers you are going to use but it will need a place for the crankcase to ventilate regardless so you should be able to add oil there.

Check Summit. Someone makes finned Corvette style covers for the LS engine.

If you run an air gap intake or carb style you can drill and weld a fill tube to the valley cover.
