I know they are 5 bolt vs the 10 bolt, but not sure if they will have enough clearance. Any other valve covers that look good and work?

I am looking at the same thing!!! I have the Mopar Perf. cast Valve Covers that they sell for the W9 heads but the things feel like they weigh 5-10lbs each. THEY are heavy. Looking for something Lighter weight!!! As many Different Valve Covers as I have seen on small blocks I can't believe there is no feed back, at least on other options.

I milled all the ribs and Mopar logo off then sanded them nice(like doing body work) then have them coated EDIT those look like a reverse lip cover so yeah I agree with Ryan..... BUT you will need to grind/mill for the valve springs... same on the gasket Last edited by MR_P_BODY; 09/13/11 01:07 AM.
