Here is a set I just bought for my L98, all I have to do now is get the time to put them on.These are the GM Proformer covers in polished alum.As far as your question about what style,it depends on what heads you put on the ZZ4, if you get the long block it has the same heads as the alum L98 which are center bolt....WW

FLMale, are those covers still available? If so, who makes em? WW7's are a fav of mine and if I cant find the "corvette" covers for my perimeter bolt L98, I will go with them. Nice engine compartments, fellers!

I got mine new off e-bay less then half price but this is where they came from. You will need to do some machine work for PVC & breather lines. I painted the center sections black they are the polished ones.

Great! Thanks for the link. I kinda like the plain ones, they should match Merles coated headers after they age a little. Polished ones take too much upkeep for this lazy fat boy, lol. I might paint them to match my car's "Ticket Me Red" too. Thanks again.
