    Engine shroud cover options for LQ4 6.0L

    I bought a 2004 Vortec LQ4 6.0L and 4L80E from a Chevy express van which didn't have any engine cover at all over the fuel rails, wiring or coil packs and I would like to install a cover to hide those components. I didn't find any info searching for LQ4 Engine covers. I know I could just go order one for the truck but if I am not mistaken it just covered the intake and fuel rails and left the coil packs exposed. I would like to use a cover for the Cadillac CTSV but I think the LS6 intake is shorter in height than the LQ4 and might present a problem. What do you guys use for an engine cover on these LQ4 or LQ9 motors using the stock truck intakes?

    The Denalis and Escalades have three peices. The middle part has cut-outs the single cover trucks don't have so they look a little weird by themselves IMO. They say "Vortec 6000" on them.

    The MAX trucks say "Vortec Max" or something like that.

    I have no covers on mine any more but I'm hanging onto them.

    To retro fit you'll need the rear retainer that bolts to the intake if you don't have one now. The three peice covers also require a couple of studs on the intake and you'll have to remove the heater hose bracket as the three peice covers have the retainers made on.

    Do those pieces you have from yours have the GM part number on them so I can see how much they cost online for new pieces.
