Thanks Mark ! i just LOVE your allstate !
i wonder if hotheads [?] has anything similar for an early hemi that would work ? [i have not looked at their site for quite a while]

I spoke will Tim Banning yesterday about the covers. He did agree that Indy was the only one with the notched cover. Tim has an aluminum cover with black wrinkle he can machine the stage v logo into and add breather baffles at each breather location for $750 a pair. Says without the baffles oil like to make its way out the breather and all over your engine. Really like the Ray Barton covers too.

I have the Indy's before the notch was available. I would recommend those with the notch as well. Even in my E-body, and the engine re-centered some, its still pretty tight in that area...A-body will be worse.

It's a tight fit. Extremely tight but even with my snout bars I can still take the passenger side off when needed in the car.

Sorry to be a blind bat, but I cannot see this clearance notch that you all are talking about.

Can somebody help me with that ?

Look back at my attached engine on the stand picture. It is about a 6"×6" recessed area cast into the rocker cover on the passenger side.

Is that it, right below #4 plug ?
It looks like a shadow.
Thanks !

Good thing I don't have any A-body's with a Hemi in them....

I'm just gonna have to do the shock tower mod. Think i'll get the covers from Tim. Thanks guys

That's what I did. A little heat and hammer work.

I was told it does't have to be moved far, maybe 1/4 to 1/2" at most.

Correct. If I recall correctly anyway...it's been 15 years since I did it, lol. At least that was the case on my E body...not sure on an A body.

Yeah, i have a gentleman near me that did this on his hemi dart. Invited me over for a look.
