what makes the breathers hard to find ? i know how almost everything a guy want's nowadays is back ordered, but what makes those breathers so different than others ? i am gen 2 hemi ignorant, so please don't beat on me too hard ! i'm just trying to learn new stuff. They were sold separately from the valve covers. I see a lot more valve covers for sale than I do breathers. These are K/B valve covers and breathers . Mark 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]

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.

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.

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.
