Default New coil covers

Just did a h/c/i on my c5z. My heads are edlebrock so I decided to go with the edelbrock coil covers that they make for ls engines. They say that they will not fit a stock application. Pretty sure these are made for ls retrofits. Got sick of looking at the exposed coils though. What do you think? I still need to install the drivers side because that one is gonna need some modification to clear the alternator. I should have that one done this weekend.

Congrats! Really like the look. Love Edelbrock

Since you live in San Diego, you should bring your car up and enter it in the "Rev'ved Up 4 Kids Charity Car Show" at Edelbrock headquarters in Torrance, CA next May. It will be in celebration of Edelbrock's 75th anniversary and they are making it a big deal.

Your Vette would be a hit! But, enter early ... Folks are bringing cars from all over for the event.
