well i was really surprised how much fab was needed for these to work. it wasnt much, but more than say an LS1 FRC install. i had to cut notches for the PCV hose then for the alternator bracket, then i had to cut the other side to allow for the fuel lines. then i had to get the vette power brake hose so that it would run behind the covers. if you take a closer look at the drivers side you can see it, then a brass fitting in it too. the stock f-body power brake hose is 3/8 and the vette one is 1/4. so it takes some home depot trips. and then the crap under it doesnt exactly fit well against the manifold. only two of the four studs total are holding them. the other two are just chillin. but nonetheless, they fit and look awesome.
oh and grant we will need a few days to get it done...one for prep then one for work. by prep i mean cutting the covers, buying the hose parts, then you'll have to order the vette power brake hose and then studs beforehand. i'll give you p/ns if you need em. oh and your ASR might be a problem...i'll have to take a closer look.

oh and yes my next mod (as far as the engine go) is ceramic non-emissions LTs with OTVC plug wires (red of course) and along with that is LT1 Edit to make my PCM happy even though his precious smog stuff is gone 
eventually i'll get some composite LT4 valve covers, and since the PCV hose on those goes into the side of the cover, i wont need that hole there, so i might end up getting a new RH FRC
