    Thats a gen 3 blower.

    As for the motor, I would assume there is a number on the block somewhere the says which motor it is.

    Some of the l32s have black valve covers. I want to say 05+. I got those and then added reflective red stripes.

    L32 is considered stronger with the powdered metal rods and a slighter bigger exhaust valve. I think it's the exhaust but it could be intake.

    Now you just need chrome bushings. :P


    OP I believe V6 Camaro valave covers will work as well. The L67 valve covers will not work because the L67 heads have injector ports. So there is room for these on the valve covers.
