I have seen a few of these in person and they are very nice. These are on my list of to get things. Dang houses put a damper on everything. or my other ideas were to do a coil relocate and get the lsx covers are the same as below but fit our motors. .

I don't have my truck here, otherwise I would have measured them for you.
Call Ryan up at ABEAR, he will tell you, he is a Great Guy.

I sent him a PM 4 days ago and no response, and I called him twice yesterday and got his voicemail both times.

Chris, I think u should get the machine covers and have engraved like "408 Turbo" or "REX 408 Turbo" maybe and have the engraving color matched to ur truck. Just my opinion
but hows the engine coming btw?

3.78" from the tallest part of the top cover (the engraved part) to where the lower half meets the head. Add 1/8 inch for the compressed gasket as well to the overall height.

Your spot looks tight. You saw mine before right?

I just mocked them up on my new motor. It was the finishing touch!

Going up by $300? How much do these things cost? Damn. Just relocate your coils and get some of these.

You won't have any clearance issues and your engine compartment will look clean as hell. I'd get some, but I have a GMC not a chevy.
