Gotcha...for some reason I thought you were going to run breathers on the covers.
A better option than the grommets is to weld some -10 male fittings onto the covers.

The new grommets came in and work great! I ordered a nice filler cap for the other side from Hughes and am tossing around the idea of doing wrinkle black on the valve covers with an Air Grabber air cleaner and HEMI sticker.

Planning to paint the lid body color with a HEMI decal. Not sure what type of hood will be able to cover this. May have to rethink the intake... confused

I don't know on the hood. Air Cleaner is from PG Classics. I modified a stock one for the 4500. It's a metal base, not fiberglass like others I've seen.

I'd get a Glasstek hood, with a Sunoco style "scoop/cowl" on it. Here is Larry Boyd's GTX with a Glasstek front and Sunoco hood.

I managed to get one side of the exhaust buzzed up. Waiting on a couple bends for the other side. I went under the axle as I mentioned in a separate thread. This is the first time the car has had exhaust past the rear axle in ~20 years... May have to install a stereo if it works out! smoke

What are you doing to allow the motor to breathe?
I see one outlet with no inlet for breathing confused
I would and do use a PCV on all my non vacuum pump motors to help suck moisture out of them as well as allow the motor to breath when revved up above 3000 RPM shruggy work

I remember seeing a Charger a while back with a Sunoco style hood. Well I just came across it on Facebook, and here it is.
