Another thing you could do is buy a set for the La motor there are alot more out there to choose from and cheap then the mopar one. The only down side is there is less bolts but the holes line up no problem. Just make sure you get the la gasket to.

2 options:
Call mancini racing and see if they still have the mopar valve covers for cheap. $89

Bash the baffles in on the stock covers with a 2x4 and a hammer. Just be sure you can still get the oil cap on.

The stock covers will usually work if you beat the baffles down a little like Aim suggested. The Mopar covers come with tiny baffles, or you can run none at all, but I don't recommend either. Both will cause you to leak oil out of the grommets/caps on the valve covers. APS sells an improved baffle for the Mopar valve covers. I switched to them, and have had almost no oil leaks since. Not sure if your rockers will still fit under the covers with these different baffles in. My HS 1.7's fit fine, but then again they fit under stock covers with no issues too.

Their website has them listed for 195. Was that a specisl call in only deal? I heard about that like forever ago. I kinda doubt they will still sell them for that.




Silver how about you send me yours for a test fit lol

Just cut the baffles out with a Dremel or 1/4 angle die grinder. Then clean them and paint them blue.

The Mancini deal was call only. They had some ordered for crate engines that were never built. They were selling stock injectors for $8 too...
