Will LS3 Corvette engine covers fit on a 2010 L99 engine? Currently have no engine cover and looking to dress it up a bit I have chromed original type cover but it doesnt fit due to my catch can location and doesnt look good anyway

I've seen guys use LS7 covers off a Vette on a stroked LS3. Ultimately, it's all LS so as long as you have the mounting points for new covers, it should all work, but I imagine you are wanting to know if the Vette covers will work with the Camaro mounting points.

I have similar style ls7 covers but from a Z28, my biggest issues came from the fact that ls7 used different intake manifold and the fact that it was dry sump with no oil fill, which I don't think should be an issue with Vette LS3 covers, all you would need are some extra studs because stock I think the car comes with 1 but needs 4 for the fuel rail cover style.

Personally, I'd leave it and if you want dress up by adding color to key existing parts. I don't want anything that potentially traps heat or serves no purpose other than to cover up the goods. I'd rather make the goods shine.

all good ideas. have to think but keeping heat out is important Thanks for all the ideas

Felt like this was good thread to continue with... are folks removing the molded plastic cover that sits on top of the intake manifold (circled in pic)? Is this intended to prevent the tubing that crosses over the top of manifold from getting too hot? Or is the cover mostly a heat trap, as suggested in this thread?
