    LS1 Swap ... Corvette Valve Covers??

    My 2nd question is: my engine is a 1998 Trans Am 5.7 liter LS1 w a single fuel rail...does anyone know if Corvette (plastic) Top covers/valve covers will fit on this engine and if so, which year models do I look for and do I have to make any modifications? Any recommendations on a vendor to pick these up from?? This engine is in my 1968 Chevy truck w a power brake booster. Does this pose any clearance issues w these valve covers?
    Thanks in advance for your advice!

    valve covers i guess. The ones ive seen were red or black with the work corvette written on top. one over each head, they hide coils. do you have any experience with them?

    Just clarifying with you. Those are engine covers. Valve covers are on the top of the head, normally what the coils are mounted to.
