LT1-LT4 Fuel Rail Covers

Has anyone tryed to modify a set of the LT1-LT4 or LS1 Fuel Rail Covers to fit on a TPI? I think it would be really cool if some how...they woulc be cut and placed around the runners...just exposing the plenum and the runners..cover the valve covers and such. Has anyone does anything like this before? I've thought about doing it...but don't wanna waset about $70 bucks tring to do it....

Here is a set on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33627

Cool, but I like the way a TPI manifold looks.

You could probably tweak an LT1/4 set to work on a TPI though.

i don't see a point of putting covers on a tpi seeing as how the plenum covers mostly everything up anyways, but thos lt1 covers do look pretty sweet, maybe they could keep some of the heat of the plenum??? so it could possibly be worth it

The design I have come up with will basically cover just the valve covers...and some of the area surrounding them. My valve covers aren't the best looking...and I don't want to change them...so I thought this would be a cool mod to do if it's done right. Anyway...I went ahead and ordered a set of the Black LS1 "Corvette" Fuel Rail Covers instead....they look a bit wider....and will allow more room to be cover..I'll post pictures when I get them done.

I really dont see you getting them to look anywhere like they belong there, just get rid of the chitty tpi motor and install an LT1, then you can install em :-D

so how did it turn out 84customZ28?? I was looking around ebay and thought it might be a neat idea to cover the stock valve cover and clean up the engine bay, so I did a search here.. ... post some pics!

personally, anything that says "corvette" that isn't in a corvette is like putting a type R sticker on something that isn't a type R

Well I happen to think they look pretty good from that angle.. actually I can only see the one on the driver's side. Do you have any other images that show the covers a bit more clearly?

interesting web site pasky.. worthy of a bookmark.

considering these engines came and are derived from the corvette I see no "****" anywhere in these pics.Ive seen guys with vette badges on impala SS.I overlooked it because they are "vette" powered cars.
