mcmahan Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 Hey everyone just ordered a set of these coil covers for the SS and I am going to get them color matched. As some of you know I am not going to go to crazy with the SSS but build a nice street/strip truck just to have fun in. I am wanting to do a LS1/2/3 intake manifold with a 90mm T/B and color match it as well. My question is what intake should I use and what other mods do I need to do for it. I plan on doing all this when I install my 228R cam when I get home from this shit hole lol Thanks for the help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SSplaytoy Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 It's an improvement for the mess from factory, but I prob woulda saved some and got covers like Kevin (KRAMBO) did in his build. Those with a FAST truck manifold = ( . Y . ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSplaytoy Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 Seems Abear went outta business They would take some searching for if really wanted until another company starts making a similar good looking product What kinda budget do you have for these lil goodies Mr. Big Money Baller? Other need to be mentioned goodies: TB upgrade, manifold, pushrods, springs, tc, and hanging scented pine trees to cover the reek of you being in a shit hole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misterp Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 Those covers are not going to just bolt right on - we had to spend an entire afternoon on MidnightRidr's truck with a grinder, file, and cutoff wheel to make his Edelbrock ones fit - you will for sure have interference with the climate control box & pass-side firewall (I had to cut off over 1-1/2 inch) and the driver's side cover will need the front-inside corner to be 'dog-earred' to make room for the alternator, plus we had to drill a 3/4" hole in the rear driver's cover for the PCV hose. Make sure you plan an entire day to cut & test-fit before priming and painting, I'm sure they'll look good once painted but just expect a lengthy fitment. On the upside, yours will be one of the only trucks with the covers because nobody else will want to go to the effort to do the work required to use them!! Mr. P.

misterp Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 (edited) Oh I'm not discouraging you - I would do it, just expect a lot of "cobbling". But it sure looks good when it"s all on there!
