Hello all

Anyone have any GMC valve covers and an air cleaner they want to get rid of?  Or just non-Chevrolet brand?

I think center bolt is Vortec?

I have a set off my CorvetteKart. It was a 1989 L98 motor with center bolts. I believe they're still at the shop, on a shelf, in a box. If so, I don't really have any use for them. Would they work? Unfortunately they have the Corvette crest.

Doubt you'll find GMC branded center bolt valve covers.  I hit Ebay and found some cool ones.  Not sure of your budget.

Might give you some ideas of what to look for in a junkyard.

From Stampie's links it looks like the corvette emblem can come off.  If so they'd work.  What you want for 'em?

 

Stampie, thanks.  Some of those look pretty slick.  I was just thinking about getting some cheapies and slathering them in paint.  But now you are making me think of actual budgetary concerns.

I'll look today and let you know if they're still hanging around. Stay tuned....

Look what I found! The gaskets and bolts were in the tote as well.

Nice! How much?

Give me your shipping address and I'll figure out a shipping quote. Send it to me at the "contact" in my profile.

I think Quasi might have a set of those available as well. You could run a filler cap on each side, and not have to deal with removing the corvette logo.

plus, they're magnesium.
