Did you sand the texture off the engine cover? Curious how you prepped it. I currently have my intake getting ported/rod modded with GPI, and I am looking at maybe painting mine and getting some new valve covers and a coil relocation kit since I'm "already in there".

Are those the two piece valve covers that hid the coil packs?

Your engine bay looks amazing btw!

I got a 320 sanding block and went over the whole cover, couple coats of primer than I did like five coats of paint and 3 coats of clear. Most of the text is gone and it’s smooth. The covers are really for ls1 I think, it says ls3 but doesn’t clear the coil plugs, I moved the holes on drivers side a little and the passenger side I shimmed them up a little. Either that or you have to do some cutting. I just like the look of the old school big block valve covers. Also didn’t want to do relocation kit. Covers are one piece and I painted them matte black . Thanks !

I also had my manifold cover painted before I had the LOD installed. We did not sand it smooth, all we did it sand it to rough it up a bit, hit it with 2-3 coats of primer, then 3-4 coats of paint and cleared it twice. Looked really good!! Here is a pic.

Put in a new shift knob and boot to add some flair to the interior.

Wayne, what coil covers/faux valve covers are you using? Phastech had Holley ones but have been out of stock/back ordered for over a year.

Hey Dan! I have the Holley "billet tall valve covers". They were painted red from them, and I had them powder coated to match. Got the ones for an L99. Here is the part number.. 241-113/Red. I think I bought them from Summit Racing. And the Accel coil packs.

Looks outstanding

It's not 5 gen. but it's a Camaro.
I was fixing a loose steering column.
I've never said so many dirty words in one sentence as I did today.

But problem solved and everything as new.
