Ok, i'm looking to build the 6.0 in my truck and taking notes from the solid lift 406 in my car. Does anyone make tall valve covers to accept high ratio roller rockers and stud girltes? I'm toying with a solid lift high reving motor. I've seen those like half inch spacers for the high ratio rockers but i don't particularly like those and don't think they'd accept girtles.

Any input would be great.

yea they make taller valve covers. in fact we have a new sponsor that is selling some pretty damn trick ones. heres the link http://www.abearmotorsports.com/

there are some ls1tech sponsors that sell taller covers too

 

check out the new sponsor ABEAR motorsports

 

those appear to be normal height, but with a taller ignition hiding area. Do they make a set that is like the old smallblock valve covers that would accept something like....

i remember reading on their site that they would accomodate for larger rockers and other stuff. send them an email to see what they have

 

will do!!

on a side note, you got that 6.0 in yet?

 

no. waiting for a piston to arrive. i was hoping to have it built and in by sunday then tuned on tuesday. all thats out the window.

 

i know how it is waiting on parts. just recently i've gotten a big dish of it with the nova.

 

Those ABears are just a pretty cover for stock valve covers. Moroso has some tall ones along with Nasty Performance.

 

um dont believe they have girtles for these motors unless it is something new. i dont know y u want higher ration rockers either. get a big solid cam and use a shaft mounted rocker. should have no probs. i have a set of jessels and like them but you still need a taller valvecover. look at all the 1000hp ls1s out there and none have girtles. these motors are totaly diff so dont compare it to your 406. just my .02 for what it is worth
