Default valve covers!

well i was trying to find vendors that sell ABEAR valve covers since they went out of buisness but cant seem to find anyone that does sell them. (if anyone knows of the vendors that do let me know please!)

i found this on ebay.. yes i know.. its ebay.. but how about some opinions on this. i would greatly appreciate it

i have the jesel rockers right now with a spacer. so il take some measurements and see if this will clear. says 2.45" tall only 125.00

I don't know if those would have enough clearance, but they look like they would. Great price for a pair of fabbed covers, IMO.

There are some Camaro/Firebird guys running these on LS1Tech with no problems. They look good, but it's unfortunate it has the mounting tabs for the coil packs. It's almost a waste of money to put the coil packs back on top.

Also keep in mind that it doesn't have any provisions to keep the line to your TB, and PCV (if you don't have an LS6).

As for clearance, my guess is as good as yours.

My only comment on these would be that you have to keep your coilovers in their normal location, which would take away from the look of the covers. I would not use them unless you are running a set of the MSD coils on top of them, which are a waste of money.
