Modern Tech with Vintage Style – Billet LS Valley Plates from Lokar’s LS Classic Series
It seems that the only major gripe about the GM LS engine platform is its overall aesthetics. This is especially true when it comes to LS swaps in muscle cars or classics. The plastic intake, the eight coil packs and all the wiring just doesn’t jive with and feel of a vintage car. The good news is that there are a lot of parts available to help make your LS look more at home in an old ride. One of the companies leading that charge is Lokar and their LS Classic Series.
Just as the name implies, LS Classics has designed a bunch of cool parts with the sole intent of making an LS look more original under the hood of a muscle car or wherever a classic small- or big-block would call home. They offer vintage fuel injection intake manifolds, faux diestributors, valve cover adatpers and even front accessory drives. Adding to that list are these billet aluminum LS Valley Plates.
Like all of Lokar’s billet parts, the LS Valley Plates are precision machined for a perfect fit with looks to match. The Valley Plates are a direct replacement for the stock plates found on Gen III or Gen IV LS engines and are available with (or without) an oil fill tube on the front just like intake manifolds from the early to mid ’60s. The Plates also feature an integrated air/oil separator to keep oil out of the intake system with no catch-can to empty.
The LS Valley Plates are available in machined or black powder coated finishes and they include all necessary fasteners, O-rings, and seals. Just like every LS Classic Series by Lokar product, they are made in the USA and they include a lifetime warranty.
