I don't think so, not enough clearance between the side of the cover and the flange for the bolt head, could try a Allen head machine bolt. I think I found some La v/c that bolted from the inside (2 piece v/c), that might be able to be drilled for the 10 bolt mag v/c, but I think they were custom made and big $$$.

Edit: Just no cork junk gaskets.
will the mopar performance magnum vc gaskets work on an LA valve cover? i ordered the MP gasket set already.

thinking about odering some edelbrock VC's... only 50 bucks!


edit: got my pillar pod, and trans gauge semi installed today. are the glowshift pods supposed to sit flush against the speaker? i got the pod with the speaker cut out, and it doesnt even come close to the speaker...

They will work just fine.

I don't have the pillar speaker so no help there for you sorry. Is it a cover or a replacement piece.

its just a cover... but i was putting it on in the middle of a snow storm today, and the winds were making it pretty damn cold.

gonna go and get a couple fuse taps for the wideband, and trans gauge. going to fiddle with it a bit more tomorrow. the plan is to get it installed tomorrow.

im gonna go take some pics now. gonna start with the small stuff.

been kinda busy with a 10wk old puppy...
