400/450 stroker....Cheap parts, lotta work.
Love these Mopar Performance cast aluminum valve covers. They are tall enough to fit all my aftermarket rockers and the rocker shaft correction kit at the same time.................
They do however present a problem bolting them up to a factory iron head.....................
Must have been a 'better idea' from an ex-Ford engineer to think the valve cover bolts should come off the head at these angles.
Studs with factory 6-point nuts or factory bolts are almost impossible to tighten in the bottom holes. I just use these stainless steel button-head allen screws...........
An allen wrench (even better if it has a ball end) works like a charm and the stainless steel looks clean............
Oh goody...it looks like I get to go now and fabricate the irrigation line offset we measured up in the ditch yesterday.......hot damn!
