You can relocate the coils down lower on the block and use any valve cover you want to use, may need an adapter.

What you're looking for is a carb intake, running a FI Throttle Body on top, vs the throttle body being in front.

For example, here's a Intake

It doesn't show the injector boss's drilled for injectors, but that's the type of intake you would use.

Here's a Throttle Body

Sans the additional wiring and injectors you'll need to creatively hide, this would allow you to have a period look.

Let me commend you on doing a great job of reinforcing your reputation. Why rip someone because they want their engine bay to have a particular look?

Under the hood with some cosmetic know how can deceive the average on looker, there was a phase when the six banger used to be suped up to out run the V8`s

I like either "look" really. As long as the motor is an LS I am fine with it! haha

One thing to note is the car intakes flow really, really well!!!
