Just as the topic states! Ive got a series 2 VS V8 Motor, and want to know if the VT V8 Engine cover will bolt straight up?? its just that the VT cover looks a bit more... sexy! haha! Thanks! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

moved to approprate section.

yep, they bolt straight up

I would say that a series 1 VT cover would because it's the same engine but doubt the VTII would ( Gen III )

ahh ok, thanks! Yeah, ment the Series 1.. (the front of it comes out further and is more rounded - mine is square at the front) thanks!

VT covers will gon onto VS manifold, BUT they will not be 100% flush with the side covers and the front one. On a VT manifold, the sides on the top of the manifold are machined lower. As the pre VT manifolds are not the same, what happens is the side ones are higher, creating a gap where the front and side ones join. The ideal way to fix this is to machine that little edge down on each side of the manifold where the covers bolt too. The not as effective way is to space up the mounting plate for the front cover which bolts to the throttle body with a few washers and then space up the front cover itself again with a few more washers. I did this on mine as pulling the manifold off just for that was way too much effort and cost. When I do a cam change some time down the line, then i'll machine the manifold for the proper fit. You will also need to get the VT mounting plate for the front cover as it has a bulbous bit that sticks up and the front cover screws down from the top. VN - VS covers screw on from underneath so you cannot mount the VT cover to those plates. You can see the VT engine covers here on a VP manifold. It is a VS motor in my VL with a VP manifold (same as VS)

duuuuuude, sorry to be off topic but injection, ur car looks mad :twisted:

thanks dude.

while on the topic of manifolds n bits n pieces....will a series 1 VT manifold fit on a VN/VP/VR/VS? and would it flow more or be the same? thanks.
