Re: project "C10 Fever" (68 factory black 396 swb)
So it looks like the driver side cover needs to move forward at least 3/8” to clear (see pic 2 mating surface vc is loose and sitting forward). The passenger side is slightly clear 1/8” or so. The HEI has plenty of room. So I’m going to try a new set of valve covers. These ones are 3-3/4” tall, and there are some I like that are 3-1/2” tall and have the correct wire loom attachment. I figure if the new ones still hit the firewall I may widen out some of the frame mount holes.
Here is what I’m looking at:

The mating flange looks like it should give me plenty of clearance.
