LS valve covers idea's/where to get

[glassman]

Hey all, I am just about finished with my LS sway into my 70' SS camaro.

the coil packs have been relocated to the lower firewall, so i am looking for the "smooth" type and am having trouble locating a pair that fits my taste.

I'm thinking of getting a decent pair (trying to find USA made as opposed to some of the deals on EBAY) and then maybe anodizing them blue and maybe doing some sort of "SS" or "Camaro SS" engraved on the cover.....

Any ideas on "where"?

Thanx, Mike

p.s., i am have a difficult time "uploading" to photo bucket so my "build/swap" thread is being delayed due to the lack of pics....

Ironworks makes a nice billet pair with or without coil mounts and if you want a customed engraved pair, contact Mark at Speed and Performance in Arkansas. I bought my big block valve covers from them that were custom engraved. They offer them in polished or chrome. No anodizing last I knew of. You may have to have them anodized yourself. Really nice quality.

Nasty Performance makes a nice set:

GM Performance Parts makes a pretty nice cast version as well.

The anodizing/powder coating i can do, but what you guys just responded with is exactly what i'm looking for.. Thanx, Mike

This was my first attemped on this but this is a stock cover with the holes welded up and milled down smooth. We powder coated this set.

I think they would look good polished if your after that look.

This is similar to Vince's, but it is a set that you can make yourself.

I quit Photobucket, it is horrible right now. I relocated my photos over to
http://www.smugmug.com/ Rather fast uploading, I was uploading rather quick. I just haven't started another build thread here, but Smugmug is similar to my old Kodak Photogallery site, but expect I paid a year membership on this one.
