Default Billet oil cap

Hello. Looking to see if anyone knows where I can purchase a Billet oil cap for a LT 1. Can’t seem to find any that will work for this engine

I don't see why this wouldn't work.

I wish we could find some nice looking valve covers.

Thanks. I actually bought that one from him.
The cap I have has a locking type device on the threads and the one I purchased didn’t. I never looked at his message stating it would not work on a locking type cap. Ed

If I couldn't find it via one of the numerous Vette Vendors, I'd check places like Moroso or DEI.

Default Oil cap.

Thank you. I have that on it now. Doesn’t fit right. Had to use duct tape on inside to keep it from falling off. I’ve seen them for new corvettes engines but nothing for c4.

Corvette mods has them for C6. I asked salesman if they would work or if he knew if anyone makes them for C4 and they said they had no idea. I asked for manufacturers info and they said they couldn’t give it to me. I’m sure I’m not the only C4 owner who would like to pretty up his motor. Ed

Couple of more possible places: Amazon, West Coast Corvettes, Summit Racing or Jegs.

Default Oil cap.

I want to thank everyone who responded to my thread. I found a Billet oil cap on eBay from ZZ Performance out of Wyoming Michigan. They were great to deal with. 3 days and received the cap. It looks great. Anyone owning a 96 LT1 engine and wants s quick dress up I highly recommend them. Ed.
