Default Valve Covers and Coil Relocation

I have been working with a company on these valve covers and coil relocation brackets for a little while. This is what we came up with and he produced them on his CNC machine. The Valve covers are 2" tall so I can use shaft mounted rockers later without having to do valve cover spacers. The valve covers have a billet screw in oil fill. The coil relocation brackets mount the coils right next to each other to save space and help with mounting. I plan to mount the coils on the upper a-frame towers directly across from the plugs. This will make it possible to still use the stock length plug wires. All of the mounting hardware is stainless steel, I will still need to polish everything once it gets here this week. I am also working with Allen Nelson on an engine wiring harness to clean the bulk of wires off the top of the engine.

They are supposed to send me a price sheet for them today. He has the CNC program set so they shouldn't take as long to produce now. This first set was a little pricey to say the least. The coil relocation brackets will need to be drilled for the vehicle as they have about 3 or 4 different types of coils so far. These are for the LS2.

that would really clean up the ole engine bay!! that and a FAST intake manifold for the non-roots s/c'd trucks would be show worthy IMO.

Beautiful parts there! Your man does excellent work.
Are you using the stock gaskets with those or something else?

The covers are cut for the stock (o-ring type) gaskets.
