valve covers
im wanting some new valve covers to go with headers are these correct and is there a cheaper place to find them http://chucker54.stores.yahoo.net/mopblacwrinv.html
No those are NOT correct. The correct part number is P50007617 as per the link. The 7611s use the old LA style bolt pattern and while they will bolt to your engine, you will find that they tend to leak easily.

No...the original poster. I was researching the Mancini site...
Yes, but you didnt read the application. The 7611s are the old 5 bolt style. They are best suited for those types of engines. The second clue was that Mopar listed them for the older W-2 W-5 heads. What I did was click on the link for Mancini for the magnum engines, whch took me to the correct part number.
As I also stated, the 7611s WILL bolt onto magnum heads, but they will not seal very well. Thats part of the reason Dodge went to a 7 bolt valve cover. The second part is that when valve covers leak they increase emissions, and the feds don't like that.
If you've owned older style LA motors you know what a PITA they are to get sealed, especially if you have a higher mileage motor.

I'm missing something. The 2nd link i gave the part number is correct. (http://www.wyckoffchryslerparts.com/blwrcaalvaco1.html) So what are you falting me for?
EDIT: I got it now thanks blue!

call Mancini and see if they still have a couple sets from their crate engines that never came in.
I got the Mopar Performance Valve covers about a month ago for $89, for the 10 bolt pattern. Make sure you order a set of VC rubber grommets and a breather or breather fitting for the stock tube as the stock grommets won't work; the aluminum covers are much thicker.
