Lots of grinding and beating the rail to clear pushtubes and rockers on anything other than stock replacement head.

Not bad if you don't mind working them a little to fit. Billet Fabrications makes a beautiful set but cost 3 times as much.

I have not used the 440Source covers but bought these from Mancini for about $120. These work nice for me as I really like them. Ron

They are not the same thing, not by a mile. Ours are 100% made in the USA, those ebay ones are from China. Ours use a super thick 3/8" billet rail, those use a 1/4". Our rail is CNC surfaced after welding (welding WILL distort the covers slightly), the Chinese ones are not.
Compare the pictures, you can see they are completely different products.

on your valve covers, can you move the drivers side breather hole to the front of the engine? I ask is because i have a big block Abody and the hole at the rear of the valve cover puts it close to the brake master cylinder.I would have lots more room if it was in the front. thanks Mopar65

You will have to drill the hole your self were ever you wish to have the pcv or breather in those covers and you will never look back cause they are the best and invest in the Morosso valve cover gaskets that have a steel core and real rubber in blue and you will have no leaks and can take them of as mutch as you whant !

Well, I got them, they are very nice....but they don't fit. Going to need some grinding on the flange, prob need to take off .125 . Then prob have to taper it back.
