I have a machinist friend who is manufacturing some awesome looking valve covers. He has a set on an LS7 and on a LS3. He wants to put a set on my LS2 and I just wanted to make sure they are compatible.
Other than the early perimeter style valve cover, Gen III and Gen IV/V valve covers interchange.
So yes, LS2/LS3/LS4/LS6/LS7/LS9/LSA interchange
The LS9 has direct bolt coil mounts, meaning no add'l brackets. I haven't seen it, but would assume the LSA does as well considering it's essentially the same motor.

Yes, the 97 corvettes and the 98 f bodies [ 5.7 L ] have perimeter bolt valve covers and less rocker arm clearance.
