He has more time in prep than paint and dipping lol. In the end this was cheaper than buying used valve aluminum Valve covers just to have to modify them. Ill be getting more parts for the truck dipped to match

That's a trip....I post and then my post is gone...anyways I used an A-body scissor(not sure if this is the correct term or not)bracket that raises it up. The piece I'm refering too.

Of course mine was aftermarket....but you get the idea, but when I put the power brakes on my 64 I used a factory set up of a 74 A-body which doing this is what gave me the idea....

that's what I assumed you used, I just wanted to confirm it....my 74 RC is a factory 440 truck, and I'm GOING to use the MP cast aluminum valve covers and rather than trim the valve covers, I'd rather raise the brake booster....I've got a spare one of those sitting around too.

I am guessing that the factory booster/mc for a bb will work with the a body piece? What about pedal to adapter length?
I am going tomorrow to look at the pick and pull for one.
I have a set of Mopar performance covers for the new 440.
Clearance is tight enough with stamped covers on the current 440. I have the parts to go non power.
