Saying the LS swap is popular would only be news to someone who just woke up from a decade long coma (if that’s the case, welcome to 2016, good to have you back!). But seriously, as popular as LS swaps are, there are still components lacking to make swaps easier. Parts interchange between the old and the new can be a real struggle for a lot of builders. Trans Dapt recognizes this issues many LS swappers face, and is making life a little easier with their new valve cover adapters.
The Trans Dapt Valve Cover Adapters for LS engines allow for the use of small block Chevy or small block Ford valve covers to be used on LS engines. Now you can use your original valve covers that match the engine bay/car. It’s a great alternative to having to customize LS valve covers, and also allows for the use more valve cover options. These valve cover adapters come in the separate Ford and Chevy bolt configurations, and include everything you need to install them. Learn more about them below.
