Re: adapt old style valve covers to LS motor
bpatrol !
There is a guy in my town who bought a adapter to just bolt a set of old style valve covers over the coils. This eliminates remoting the coils to another part of the engine compartment. They look great . He does not know who makes these adapters. I think that I will end up fabricating some type of adapter for my retro valve covers. If so I will post on here . Vic |

Re: adapt old style valve covers to LS motor
dimensionally, i don't see how a standard valve cover will fit "over" a set of coils

Re: adapt old style valve covers to LS motor
dayj1 You are on to something there . I think that the guy in my town could be using that setup. I will be seeing him on thursday and look more closely at his set up. really would have liked to remote the coils down on the frame but will do some further investigating once my steering is in and complete.
Thanks guys for all the input and suggestions. That is what makes this site Vic |

Re: adapt old style valve covers to LS motor
clemsonteg You are correct. They are going to require different style of coils.

Re: adapt old style valve covers to LS motor
Proform ! I have those water jetted out as well. Made from 5056 aluminum. Looking for a cover for the coils while still on the LS valve cover.

I know this thread is old, but if you are still looking for valve cover adapters, have you consider these? - https://www.delmospeed.com/product/valve-cover-adapter/
