But...but....engine covers let people do crappy wiring jobs where their wires are not tied, hoses are
looped poorly, and there is gasoline drool on the nice manifold surface. Easier to clean an engine cover
than it is to clean an engine. Even though I have a couple of LS motors, I think they are UGLY. The coils
are the main objection but the plug wire length is very important to the computer so there isnt a lot of
options....there is now a coil bracket off the motor mount that is available that keeps the plug wire
length correct. I think if you want/like/need a cover, that is OK. IF you have a race type car, a cover
might not be appropriate. There are some nice looking covers and there are some stinkers.

I'm with Bobbie P......why raise the hood? The car photographs much better with a closed hood
and the race car races better with a closed hood.
