GTO engine covers

[Peter123]

Should I keep these to swap occaisionally for the LS2 cover, or sell `em ?

Im not sure about the covers, but you can fit a vortech supercharger in there mate!

Drivers side Richard ?

[ringram]

Either or. With some minor rerouting of things required as I see your radiator piping and air intake on the pass side in another pic.
You can throw that pesky maf away for some more space for a start

Have you run it up the 1/4 yet?

PS: I prefer the clean look of the engine sans plastique

You can colourcode your intake and valve covers..

What make is that belt tensioner above...?

Katech probably, I think Mr Monkfish has tested these and they suck though.

Indeed. Although to be fair they work fine on N/A and harrys car. Useless on a supercharged car. Cant compensate for belt stretch because its fixed.

I'm with ringram on this, why do people like to look at plastic engines?

Roger - how much are these and have you got any pictures of one or even one in stock?

Looks like the engine bay of a drug runners fishing trawler without the covers IMO.

Just don`t like pipes and wires.

Dont even think about it for your car!
