Dress Up Your Gen 3 LS Engine with Our Easy to Install Valley Cover Plate

The stock LS valley cover on your Gen 3 LS engine certainly gets the job done of keeping the dirt out of your engine and covering the LS engine block’s valley area. However, it isn’t the most eye pleasing piece (most production parts aren’t, as they’re designed more for form and function than visuals on the show field). If you’re planning to run any of the popular hi-ram style LS intake manifolds the LS engine cover becomes that much more visible and starts to become a bit of an eyesore when you’re looking to dress your LS engine up.

Additionally, many aftermarket LS wiring solutions for performing an LS swap does away with the factory knock sensors. Adding an aftermarket LS valley cover not only cleans up the area but without the knock sensors everything looks a lot more finished under that focal piece of an aftermarket intake and ties in nicely with aftermarket LS valve covers as well. Replacing the LS’s engine cover is simple hand ratchet work while you’re upgrading your LS intake manifold, LS valve covers, or detailing your LS engine.

Speedway Motors’ LS valley cover is CNC machined from 1/4-inch 6061 aluminum and is designed to fit all 10-bolt Gen 3 LS engines, including the LS1 and LS6 models as well as truck Vortec engines like the popular 4.8, 5.3, and 6.0 LS. Available in raw aluminum or anodized black, you’re bound to match any engine color combination, intake manifold, or LS valve covers. Or grab the raw version and paint or powder coat it to match your custom engine detail work. Our LS valley cover works well with our LS valve covers or LS coil covers for a great dress up option.

While our LS valley cover deletes the knock sensors, it is not compatible with 11-bolt Gen 4 LS engines, nor will it work for displacement on demand (DOD) or active fuel management (AFM). If you’re not sure which generation of LS engine you have then take a minute to read our Gen 3/Gen 4 LS ID guide to familiarize yourself with what you have. You can reuse your stock LS valley cover gasket, however we do recommend a replacement gasket for a leak free installation, as the OE gasket does get hard/brittle with heat and age. The included 5mm counter sunk hex hardware provides a sleek flush look and compliments many aftermarket dress up items that also use hex hardware.

COIL COVERS 

Do you love your LS Motor but hate the sight of the coil packs? Speedway Motors has the perfect remedy for you. Dress up your engine bay and get that Big Block Chevy look with a set of fabricated aluminum coil covers. You will not find another set of fabricated covers on the market that look this great. They come with a billet aluminum oil filler neck and all necessary hardware.

Note that these covers will not clear OEM Corvette engines with high-mount alternator unless a cut-out is fabricated or aftermarket alternator and brackets are used. Modifications or aftermarket set-ups to the dip stick and fuel lines may be required to fit other LS engines. Covers mount directly on top of the factory (LS1/LS6) coil brackets, but they will not mount to the early-style 1998 perimeter-bolt valve cover.

• Designed for GM LS1/LS6 engines (will fit others with slight modifications)
• Center bolt style with billet oil filler neck
• Covers mount to Delco D580 style ignition coil brackets
• Designed for stock valve covers, and are therefore not compatible with TSP fabricated LS valve covers
• Choose between Polished or Clear Anodized
