Here is a new Aluminum Engine Cover I have been working on. The one pictured is fitted to an LS376/525hp. By the end of the day, I hope to have some mounts also made to fit LS1. The engine cover mounts to the studs that hold the fuel rail to the intake manifold. Comes with a beautiful natural brushed aluminum finish. I've created this engine cover in an attempt to be more than price-competitive with other options out there.....and there seems to be few options out there for custom LS engine covers that you can find for under $350-400. I would suppose that there may be a possibility of this also fitting Camaros or Corvettes with some minor mods? If you've got a C5 or C6 'Vette still intact that you could test fit this on, and see if maybe it would fit with some minor changes to the alternator area (not sure it will clear the hood either?) I may be able to work out a discount for your time spent test fitting for me. Of course the GTM logo would be replaced with something different for other applications. I also need to check into fitment for the SL-C?



One thing I'm not sure of is differences in the fuel rail mount spacing. I know the LS3 and LS1 mount spacing is different, but not sure if the LS3 mount spacing is the same as LS7? At any rate, I know I will have mounts available for LS3 and LS1, so if LS7 is different, one way or another I will have to figure out what those dimensions are.



Anyway, I'm pricing this cover with the mounts and stainless screws at $179 plus shipping. You can email me thru my website if you're interested in purchasing. Thanks!

Shane,

Wow! That cover is really nice. I am considering selling my cf cover to go with this one.

On my list of things to get after I finish my 818 build and start on a GTM!

We need a "like" button, just as Facebook has.

I'll keep this in my back pocket for when the car is finished.
