    Awesome, saved yourself about $2k in the process.

    I read an article years ago about a guy who mocked up Hemi valve covers on his big block.  Ran the plug wires through them and on to the proper locations.  I remember the pics looking OK at the angle they were taken, but I can't imagine you'd fool anyone who was up close.

    If anyone has a pair of Hemi valve covers they'd like to donate, I'll be happy to recreate it on my car and do a write up.  :bigsmile:

    Anyone?    Anyone?  I'll pay $21!

    Not quite $21, but a little less and you get the block!  In MA.

    Sad part is, for only $300.00 more each, I actually turned two 8 3/4's into REAL Dana 60's....
