What do you think of this alum. rad support cover?(pic) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Bought this aluminum rad cover from LMC. What do you think?

I think it just cleans up the engine bay, and makes it look a little more finished.

looks great.!!!! HEY is your engine in the I-6 position? Looks like it's farther back

Brewski* · 06-25-2003, 06:32 PM

I have been thinking about one of those myself. I think it does look nice and clean. I thought the cataloge says stainless though. I am going to go look. Still debating~!! What do the rest of you all think?

Looks good.

GreenMystChevy · 06-25-2003, 07:14 PM

I think it cleans it up a lot. It's the little things that you put into it that make the world of a difference. Money well spent.

I like it. I prefer polished stainless and was considering buying one and polishing it to look like chrome.

It looks pretty good. A guy could make his own. I wonder what kind of $$$ sheet stainless goes for.....

Dubbie, my small block is in the I6 position. Works well there. HEI fits good but is tight. Also, if you use the large alum. valve covers, they touch the firewall.

Nice idea, I've got a piece of stainless sheet in the garage (came from an exhaust manufacturer, was cut out for a stainless steel muffler and has their name pressed into it, don't ask how it came my way!) been looking for a use for it for a while, that will also shield my electric fan relays.

Looks good, I have been thinking about putting one on mine. Looks like LMC is the only choice.

The cataloge says it is Stainless Steal or Steal either one priced at 29.95. How would you like one made out of REAL Carbon Fiber for a 39.95. Any Takers? I will be making them ASAP>

Might be interested, need to see pictures.
