200R4 update

Well, we switched intakes and valve covers. I went with the RPM Air Gap for better low end power, and went back to my Mopar Performance valve covers to clear the brake booster. I'm going to have to sell those expensive Moroso aluminum tall boys. I popped the MP covers on unbolted with no gasket and turned the engine over by hand to make sure they cleared. They do hit the manifold, which may be why they leaked on top of the manifold on my 318. We ground the lip off the MP covers and ground a bevel to match the intake. You can't see it, and it fits perfectly. We also put some emery cloth on a level and sanded the top of the covers and then buffed them with a polishing ball. Everything is swapped over, now we get ready to permanently install it on Sunday. I had to order $60 worth of shims to bring my crank pulley out far enough to line up.
