Visually, it doesn't appear that it will work, but I've heard some of you guys say it's possible. Anyone ever tried it?
I'd like to go Magnum, but I'd also like to keep my M/T's.

I run stock '68 318 valve covers on my Mag heads, no leaks, no troubles. I used the gray MP re-usable LA valve cover gaskets, glued to the valve cover, nothing between the gasket and the Mag head.

I have the magnum motor with the serpentine accessory brackets on my truck. I tried the LA valve covers on my mag motor and they hit the back of the alternator. this is a 2000 motor.
I have heard of some using them and they do line up, some seal good some leak..its a crap shoot.
Id say try it especially since mopar valve covers for the mag motor are expensive...like 200.00 a pair.
