Mike I get exactly what you are saying, I have removed my A/C so no worries as far as the A/C compressor. I think rerouting the wiring won't be too bad, but you did help me out a ton, thanks!

No A/C, you should be good to go! (I think!)

I don't think the connector on the alternator will be too hard to deal with if you can do minor repairs, etc. One truck may be a little different from another though.

I think you'll like 'em! If the pcv and breather holeson those are not where you want them, look at thelink I posted. You can drill your own. I DO NOT know that seller, and am not making a recommendation. Just want you to know that's an option.

Oh yeah... just in case you didn't know already... DO NOT grind the welds on those valve covers. Those aluminum welds should be left alone.

I like the welds, I think they look good, the only concern I have is with them not seating well because the bolts go in through the top instead of on the flange like stock.

They should seat just fine. There's a tube welded inside each hole from top to bottom (see those 10 little circle welds on top of each cover?). They should seat in exactly the same place as the stock covers. The bolts are longer, though.

Do they have internal baffles?
