Hello I am needing a set of valve cover spacers for my 440 so I can run the stock valve covers with my roller rockers. I have clearanced them from the inside and they work with double gaskets but I am chasing leaks around and it is killing me! So I did a post to ask about these spacers that used to be posted on moparts under the engine for sale section and I got the Name area 51 group and the link to them: http://www.area51groupllc.com/product_info.php/cPath/26/products_id/44But the cart does not work on the site, the contact us does not work and there is no # to contact them. So my guess is they are MIA but I know the person that had listed them on here before was a moparts member. Does anyone now who it was or where I can get a set of 3/16 or 1/4 spacers?? Any help would be great. Thanks ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/drive.gif)

IIRC those spacers are not being produced any more.
I may be wrong but think I remember him posting that at some point on the board
I'm guessing they weren't a hot seller , I'm running sharps under 69 sheetmetal covers wit ha 550ish cam , I doubt I'm not going to need them. I was going to see if I could get them drawn up and make a set on the CNC at work ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif)

They should be an easy make, Take a nice rigid gasket, trace onto 3/16 aluminum, and start cutting. Or if you have a mill, or access to one, start milling away. Mike, I can grab some aluminum and make a set for ya. will be kinda fun, and I have the tools to do it. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbs.gif)

Kasey, Yeah man make me a set as I was going to have you put them on this winter anyway when I bring the RT up as I finally have a dash pad on its way, a new speedo, and was going to have you drop off the manifolds again and hit them with some Eastwood. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beer.gif)

Milling them by hand is not going to be as easy as you think , but have at it .

pricing would be $85.00 per pair at .25 thick plus shipping. I have the drawings for both big blocks and small blocks so both engines are available.
I would be in most likely. Still don't know what rockers I will be using in my build, but I'm banking on them not fitting the stock valve covers.
