LS2 Custom Engine Cladding
1 Attachment(s)
This may have been done before, but it's the first time I have ever tried it.
A friend of mine asked me to "customize" the GTO covers for his LS2 engine. He is installing the engine into his '67 C10 fleet, and was looking for something different. He furnished two damaged GTO claddings for dissection and two new GTO claddings to modify. After many hours with the Dremel, Super Glue Plastic Fusion Epoxy, spot putty, sandpaper and semi-flat black here is the final result. The toughest areas to reshape was inside the "G" because of the slight curves. I would never do another set. Just too much time and patience which I don't have. POP |

Looks good. You should have someone pull a fiberglass mold off of them...:D.

Re: LS2 Custom Engine Cladding
those look so good!
if the truck intake manifold didn't flow so well I would have already switched over to that style intake so I could run the coil covers vs the top vortec cover that I have. |
Re: LS2 Custom Engine Cladding

Re: LS2 Custom Engine Cladding
I had to come in this thread just to see what "engine cladding" was.

Re: LS2 Custom Engine Cladding
Man, those are some sexy covers! Did you cut the "GTO" out of the damaged ones to practice on or what was the reasoning for 2 sets?
