I’ve seen where several that have installed the Escalade engine cover on there 14-18 model Silverado’s. I have a 2021 Trailboss 5.3 does anyone know of this will fit my application? Just like the looks of it. Dresses the motor up a bit. I know it’s not for everyone. Just wondering though!

Update!!

Did some modding on my 2021. What yall think??

Paint: Had a local paint shop spray the engine cover along with the side covers

Engine cover: 2015-2019 Cadillac Escalade engine cover GM Part # 12669503

Engine Cover studs: GM Part # 11611691 (you will need to remove the 2 10mm bolts from ur existing cover and replace them with the 2 studs. This holds the cover in place.)

Engine cover Chevy emblem: All I did was use a heat gun to remove the caddy emblem on it and replace it with a Chevy center cap (found on eBay set of 4 was 20.00) used 3M tape to attach to cover.

This will work on both 5.3 and 6.2!

Any other question feel free to message me!!

Make it fit! You can 3D print anything these days to make it work!
 
so far, i have done the coil covers. the intake cover, needs the intake removed to get it off...
but, look at a newer camaro cover, possibly valve covers to change the oil fill to work...but the camaro can be removed and different badge applied

Good progress so far! For the intake cover, you might be able to work around it with a different intake setup. A Camaro valve cover swap sounds interesting—might be worth checking fitment before making the switch.
 
I remember when we opened hoods to show off chrome air filters, sitting on Holly 4 barrels, sitting on Edelbrock intake manifolds, rising over a set of headers. All with a gain in horse power. Now a plastic engine cover is the shit.........

I know, and removing it somehow, sometimes, makes it look even worse. Hoses and wires for days under a lot of them lol.
 
yes, it is still 350 cu in.
this was the last run of 350 cu in, BLUEPRINT crates that was vortec heads and a .495 ish lift cam. Dyno sheet claimed 411hp, 410 Trq.
he tuning looked a little conservative with a 650 and 24* timing.
that pic was fitted with a Fi-Tech esay street 600hp FI unit, that melted an injector....so i down regulated the stock pump and went to a 750 holley. it moves that little truck very well.
