I'd like to get a set for my W9's. I see that Milodon makes a fabricated tall/wide valve cover that would work, but I like the cast one you've got better.

Those covers are the Mopar cast reverse lip ones.. I milled the logo and the ribs off to make them smooth and to loose a little weight

W9 take there own valve cover. Yes a stock one will bolt on but doesn't match up to pan rail. Need to order ones made for w9. Brett Miller W9 cnc'd heads STR Chassis fabraction

There not the same as a factory cover or gasket. I thought it was just that you had to run a wide style valve cover / reverse lip, and then trim the lip and the gasket to clear the valve springs. Do you have a link to the W9 specific ones? I couldn't come up with anything on eBay, Jeg's, Summit, Mancini Racing...

Your correct.. a minor radius near the springs and cut the gaskets the same... took me about 20 minutes

I had 2 sets of W-9s.. the first set was done by Chapman and the other set by Shady Dell.. both were very close on flow.. and they both set them up
