Where can I get this part?
Anybody got one they want to sell?
I think it dresses the engine up nicely.

I could be a dick and say that you linked him to the wrong cover.....but I won't do that.

Jim posted the other version of the 6000 cover, completely the same in purpose, only difference being the smaller 6000 lettering vs the large letters on the one he posted. There is also a 5300 version, the caddy version, and the version that I use (the Vortec MAX cover).

I can dig up the part number from the Max cover, or you can check my build as I always spam saying. I bought all 3 new from either GM parts direct or Nalley GMC, I'd have to double check. The price for all three was under $100. I chose to customize mine a bit, but all of them fit the same (but if you run DBW make sure that the top cover clears the TB. it has a more aggressive slant on the front plastics, and the non-dbw covers rub the TB)

My local chevy dealer quoted these prices to me just now over the phone. Chevy direct has the better prices + I don't have to go pick them up. Shipping is $30.52 which is $112.67 total.
Now I have to decide if I want to run them. Doing all this detail paint work will be for nothing if I run the covers and hide it all.

chevyguy_72 · 09-25-2013, 09:44 AM

any idea if the vortec max cover will fit a 6.2 with a truck intake? (L92)
Thanks

BR3W CITY · 09-25-2013, 04:37 PM

l92 has a different style truck intake and the covers' don't fit the same iirc the bolt holes don't line up but can be made to work.

jtp67-72 · 09-25-2013, 08:54 PM

Andy, u decide to go for another look I have 2 of these in gm boxes.....brand new......$100 shipped..each....originally for new Camaros...jim

Will it bolt right up to a 5.3 truck manifold?

smoky02 · 09-26-2013, 02:13 AM

Also you could go to LS1truck and start a for sale thread or just read through what they have. I would imagine someone is selling one of these.

Custom 68 · 09-26-2013, 10:27 AM

jtp those are cool, got any installed pictures? Like was asked what did you do to make it fit the truck manifold?
Thanks
Dave

BR3W CITY · 09-26-2013, 01:36 PM

These covers do not fit the stock bosses on the truck manifolds. They can be made to fit with a little trimming and re-fixing the bosses to match the intake.
There are a few threads on ls1tech and performancetrucks looking to do it, and a few have.

Andy4639 · 09-26-2013, 10:23 PM

I sure would like one. Those are cool as heck! PM sent!

Andy4639 · 09-26-2013, 11:44 PM

I have tried registring over on the LS1 truck site but it want let me. It keeps saying the random question is not correct. I have tried everything it want let me finish the registry.

What is the most popular make or model of truck on this site?

What tha' heck is it? I have tried every truck name and LSX,LS1, what!

The answer given for the random question was incorrect.

BR3W CITY · 09-27-2013, 03:07 AM

Was that on Ls1tech? Ls1tech and PErformancetrucks use the same login info, they are both on the same forum-network. Ls1trucks is a completely different site, a ton smaller.

I would think the answer was Silverado.

Andy4639 · 09-27-2013, 10:18 AM

LS1truck,
this site.
I tried it and every other combination I could think of.

BigShoe24 · 09-30-2013, 08:47 AM

JTP,

I'm still interested if one's still available. Does anyone know how these attach? Do they clip onto the fuel rails or something? Thanks,
