It is pretty common to mill the sides of the plenum for relief for the valve covers.
I know that Jeff @ MCH does this when he mods the internals of the MP Cross Ram.

Guy's, on a related note, I just put my MP crossram on for the first time. With stock type tin valve covers, I like to never got the covers on! I actually had to take the motor mount loose on the passenger side to jack the motor up to clear the shock tower. The plenums overlap the v/c a lot and I can't get all of the top nuts on the v/c's . It will be a PIA to pull the covers for valve adjustments. Any tips ? 68hemi gts, who's covers are you running? They have deep scallops for acces to the v/c nuts. Thanks!




i have indy valve covers, actually ground on the intake so much i put holes in it and had to do some patch work, just to get the intake to fit on. definatly don't recomend their valve covers with a cross ram. i have a buddy who's got Barton covers on his cross ram, they look to fit alot better.

This is what I used. A little pricey, but worked well.



Hey there I was wondering if you can tell me exactly what year,model, and motor this air cleaner came on. I am building a small block with a str-12 manifold and thats the air cleaner. Thanks

that would be an aircleaner for a 64-65 race hemi. Rick allison @ a&a transmission builds repos that are very nice and expensive.

my mp crossram with barton (i believe stage V may cast them but not 100%) valve covers. never ground on the outside and them come off pretty easy. i have an adjustable engine limiter and have to "pull" the engine to the drivers side to get the passenger cover off

As was said mine is an original 64/65 Race Hemi air cleaner. For the money a repro is probably a better deal, most originals you will find would need to be rechromed which adds to the expense. A&A Trans sells the repros in individual pieces, so maybe you would be best just to buy the top and make a custom base as I don't know if the carb spacing on an STR manifold would be the same as a Hemi crossram, kind of doubt it. It would look very cool when done though.
