Does that engine cover come complete like that? As far as covering the entire top of the motor? Never seen this one, heard of the vortec max though.

The side covers are on all LQ9s, ss silverado, vortec max, escalade, and maybe denali?

The motor I just bought is a 2002 vin U from a yukon 2500. it has the full covers. maybe they mislabeled it and I got lucky and scored an lq9?

Chris you have a LQ4 according to the info I have. VIN U is the LQ4 and VIN N is the LQ9

Th LQ9 also came in the Escalade 02-06.

Re: Show your LS Swap engine bay
 
there are 5 variations that I can remember
Vortec Max (comes red) top cover, and side covers
Vortec 6000 top cover, with the same side covers
Vortec 5300 which if i recall is the square top cover only off the early trucks
and the Escalade cover which i think has the same side covers as the top 2.

i can dig out the part numbers if you guys need them

Awsome, thanks guys. I think this is a nice looking cover. $50 is the cost on it, just checked with a buddy at the dealer. Better than having a custom made.

Thanks. I like the look too. But i love the milage. I get 14 mpg with mostly in town in a 4x4 burb with 33s and 410 gears. That is with a good amount of beatings threw out the drive.

That will be for the center cover only. The 2 side covers have additional cost.
