I've felt like Katt Williams in American Pimp the last 3 wks,(Wait for it Wait for it) But I got my heads and block back today. Now I need a set of LS2 valve covers. Does anybody make aftermarket covers or am I gonna have to go dumpster divin? And any trouble with the coil packs going on them? But... I have the rest. I think. 10 over block;coated pistons;MS3 cam and install kit; Pacesetter LT's with neweraperf. 3" Y pipe;Ram Suregrip clutch;LS2 timing chain;LS6 oil pump; 'puter tuned bt TSP. Hopefully it will all turn out pretty good. any info about the covers would be appreciated.

 

Wish I could help you with the covers...sounds like a nice set up, I have heard the MS3, I like it a lot. Good luck.

 

Why do you think you need "LS2" valve covers?

And if you're still using your stock 98 coils, you have no choice but to stay with the 97/98 LS1 valve covers.

 

Im putting a set of LS2 heads on . Thats why I need the covers. They are centerbolt covers and the Ls1 is a perimeter bolt. I found a set on ebay and Im going to bid on them I guess if I cant find them locally. Thanks for the info.

 

LS2 heads use the same centerbolt valve covers that the 99-04 LS1 uses. Only the 97-98 LS1 had perimeter bolt. Just get a set of centerbolt LS1 covers. You'll need the 99+ ignition coils too, as your perimeter valve cover mounted coils will not work with the later style valve cover.

 

That's what I was thinking.

 

I got a set of valve covers. The local Chevy dealer said they could order a bracket to mount my coils onto the LS2 covers. Is this possible or are they tryin to make quota for the month? On a good point, the motor is together and bolted to the suspension and fixin to go back in

 

You can make the 97/98 coils work with a 99+ coil bracket.
