LT4 valve cover discontinued?

I placed an order for both and one was canceled. Vendor stated that the part was discontinued. There was a new part number... which was also discontinued. Anyone know the current part numbers for the composite LT4 covers?

I'm calling Jason. I did this with GMPartsDirect.

Unfortunately according to Jason... that was his last. This part has truly been discontinued. Only 7 dealerships showed to have any in stock. I'm on the hunt!!!

OK I got one of the last 6. One of the dealerships didn't have it where it was supposed to be. New Jersey and Illinois have one a piece. The phone numbers are NJ 201 939 7708 and IL 847 234 7900.

LT1 and LT4 composite valve covers are the exact same excepth that the LT1 covers have the drip tabs that must be cutoff in order to use them with roller rockers and poly locks. Find some used LT1 covers.

Everyone knows you can reuse the LT1 covers... some just like the look of the LT4 stuff. I have 1.7s and I don't want to hack my LT1 pieces just to use them. I'd like to say that they reduce under the hood noise a little too.

Ya... 1.6 Self Aligned. Nonself aligned require guide plates, which require modification of the stock covers.

They don't even look remotely the same. One is thin sheet metal (LT1) and one is composite plastic (LT4).

I think he means the corvette lt1 version of the valve covers, not the fbody ones.

When searching the part you get that same number for all LT1/4 Vettes.
