Danm that looks nice! Just a thought, if someone took those valve covers and ground off the summit name, painted then engine color, they would be great for a sleeper.

You know that's the only thing I don't like about them.  But they're well made and heavy !nanr

Ain't nothing boring about those pics. Looks great.

Are you going to put your heater box and blower fan back in?

I gained about between 1/2" and 3/4" by removing the Victor and putting a Performer RPM on my 440 Dart.  Slap a 1" drop base air cleaner assy on it and it clears the stock hood by about 1/4" or so.

Thanks guys.

They are TTI headers.  2"

Schumaker mounts.

Heater box and fan are now back in.  I modified it last winter, but still had to move the blower motor back another 1/4".  No big deal.  About 3/8" clearance now.

I'm HOPING to be able to use my stock, flat hood.  I have a 2" drop air cleaner base.  Still looks like it's gonna be damn close!!  I'll definitely let you know how it fits.

Probably have a few more pics later tomorrow.

summit had a plain version of that valve cover (without the logo)  but they discontinued them

Actually i think the ones I have may have been discontinued as well.  I can't find them there anymore.  Only bought them a few weeks ago.
