engine covers

Post by bkwagonss »

I installed my engine covers over the weekend.
I kept the center cover on the intake, so I trimmed the covers to fit.
I also painted the 6.0 red and GEN-4 silver.

Trimmed the RH cover to clear the heater hoses also.
Very nice.

Nice. I added the LT1 and LT4 Corvette covers to my B-Bodies. So this mod is along those lines and I may be interested in doing the same in the future.

I have a picture from the Michigan State Police testing back in the fall of 2010 where the Caprice PPV debuted. The pictures I have of that car had a different 1-piece engine cover. I guess they dispensed with them for the actual 9C1 and 9C3 cars when the package became official. If anyone wants me to post that picture (or pictures), let me know. I can start up a thread in another section.

I put a G8 cover on mine to fill the void. It fits OK but it is really big. I was toying with the idea of taking it off and putting something else in it's place.
