    Not knowing a dammed thing about what I wanted I just went to the dealer parts guy and told him I wanted the 3 pc engine cover like the 6.0's have. He got me a set and they bolted right up to my 5.3 and looked great. I sanded off the "Vortech" and painted them white to match the truck. You can go to

    to see them.

    Have fun. Regards, Jim I can't figure out why the address won't come up as a link?

    thats looks good, but in that picture i wasnt able to tell if there was a faint marking of the vortec. I plan on just buying the esclades covers. i am putting a set of 93 deville tail lights in , so it should look good. Ill take pics of all of the stuff i bought in about a week.

    A faint marking of the Vortech? A FAINT MARKING OF THE VORTECH????&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;

    I can assure you that after HOURS of sanding, several coats of primer and paint that there is NO faint marking of the Vortech&#33;&#33; None&#33; Zilch&#33; NADA&#33; None at all&#33; Not a dammed bit&#33; No freaking way&#33; Guaran-fking-teed Jack&#33;&#33;

    What you may be referring to is the "Heartbeat" I put on the cover with pin striping tape.... like on the hood pad.

    Thanks for making the link work. I know so very little about puters that it&#39;s sometimes very frustrating.... but it sure brings my BIG ego down to size
