Is it correct that LA valve covers fit on Magnum heads and just use 5 of the 10 holes that Magnums have?
I can get a nice pair of fabricated LA covers for dirt cheap from a friend.

If they have a thick bottom flange, they'll be fine.

They are still on an engine but they appear to have a 1/8" flange.
I'm trading some unused Evinrude outboard parts for them, so free. WINNING!
I'll get some quality LA gaskets and give them a try.

A little thin, RTV the gaskets to the covers, one less surface to leak.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll check clearance.

Remember to disconnect the battery cable to the alternator before trying the clearance!
Don't worry guys. I'm not as dump as I sound.
These will be going on my 408 build long before it's in the truck and hooked to a battery.

It's easy to move the alternator stud, I might have the parts...
I bought a new alternator, but I moved my alternator, no need to relocate the stud now.

Here's a "how to"

If you haven't lived for something, you'll die for nothing.
2012 Grand Cherokee Limited Wife's car - 4X4, Hemi
2003 Dakota RT RC, Hughes intake and throttle body, D1SC Procharger, 5-speed
2009 Challenger RT, 6-speed, sportlines, x-pipe, Dynatech mufflers.
Makes pulling the covers a snap. I've used the same gasket for years, and my covers are off a lot.

With this build I hope to have them firmly planted to the heads and not touch them for a looooong time.

Solid roller cam here, I check my lash a lot, if one valve is way off something ain't right.

I have that hard plastic gaskets , no RTV and no leaks !
Mines firm rubber..I think it's moroso, but not having to align the gasket and valvecover is nice when you re pulling the covers off between rounds because you heard something on the return road.
