Default ((PICS)) Let's see those Katech valve covers/coilpack relocation, nicer than covers??

IMHO, the Katech vc's with coilpack mounts or relocation make the engine bay look much nicer than painted covers or stainless covers

No intention of starting a battle here, just personal opinion

I like the "ready to battle" look

re: pic, yes, it's a C5, LS2 based 416

Beautiful, very clean indeed.

Myself, I like to stay a little closer to factory, but I do like the Katech deal (sorry it's not a better picture):

If you want to keep the price down a little, you can get a set of these ... made by Holley. (Approx $169.95 per set)

Holley P/N: 241-91

Of course, they are not made for coil relocation ... has stock coil mounts, but are angled instead of vertical




______________________________________


Another cover I found ... This is GM P/N : 25534398

Too bad it don't say Corvette on it

Cost is about $122 per set.

This set will require coil relocation

Nice work, I will have mine ready in a few weeks, with a little different twist. Can I ask, where did you get the fuse box cover and altenator cover with the Jake emblem's etched in? Very cool!

the fuse box cover I used a mirror like cover and then purchased a set of Jake emblems from Ebay and put it on. The alternator cover I got from a non supporting vendor.
But you could do the same thing and put the jake emblems on a plain alternator cover. I think the set I got on Ebay had 2 small and 1-2 large jake emblems.
