Corvette fuel rail cover install

Hey guys I did a lot of searching and found several threads with ppl doing this swap but very little explaining how to...

Parts needed:
Ls3 vette fuel rail covers
Vette fuel rail mounting studs

Depending on ur model
Heater hose relocater kit most come with fuel line hose also
( mine is a 2013 so I did not need this and I chose not to purchase a fuel line hose because I did not want to flip my fuel rail I purchased a fuel line from katech...)

Do your research flipping includes more work but the fuel line is shorter and cheaper... I wanted it to protrude from the passenger side cover like the vette does so I purchased the other line which was simple to put on.
The passenger side fuel rail cover will have to be notched at the back to have room for the a/c line... Here is my completed pic... Thanks for looking and of you have any questions ask.

Just curious, why would you want an engine cover that says Corvette, on your Camaro?

Nice work, it looks good! Although I would get a vinyl decal that says Camaro SS to cover the Corvette.

Interesting mod. If it was an actual Corvette motor this makes sense. I see it done on the swaps into older muscle cars.

For my LS1 swap into my 68, I had the GTO covers painted to match the color and the Camaro script added in place of the "GTO":

It is a corvette motor and the covers look really good. Makes sense to me.

I have a couple questions for Vince. I have 2 hard vacuum lines and a fuel line preventing me from installing my corvette fuel rail covers. I need to know what fuel line you ordered and what you did to the vacuum lines. I would appreciate any guidance you could give me to make the covers work. Thanks…
