Thanks

Dont think they clear the rockers. I think 5.7 Eagle valve covers are the same as 6.4 though.

The Rocker Shafts were moved up and out on the Eagle and Apache heads vs. the original 6.1 Heads, which would put the rocker closer to the older valve covers. Whether they fit or not, I'm not sure.

Thanks, Any idea where I can get a set I've been told they are on back order. Used will be OK. This is holding up engine builder.

They aren't compatible.
2005-2008 5.7 car
2006-2010 6.1 car
Those both interchange.
Anything 2009 and up 5.7 and 2011 and up 6.4 use the same cover.
I bought my eagle valve covers from

from a salvage yard around Michigan for about $100 shipped, and that was a good deal.

The moroso valve covers are for the older style of 5.7/6.1

When I was searching, you couldn't find them from the dealer. All of the other parts have been a breeze from both dealers and wrecking yards.
