Default SRT rocker arm covers

When I remove my engine shroud cover I notice a bunch of wires coming our of the valve covers.

Does the SRT have some additional engine dress valve covers that hide them if I want to run w/ o the heat trapping shroud?

Where do I find them?

So you have a "rats nest" of wires?

It doesn't look like this does it?

<edit> If you have a "rats nest" you can get rid of it by re-wiring with "shorty wires"

Let me rephrase Your's looks like the picture above, right.

Yes the SRT-8 has covers.

Do those covers fit on the 5.7?

Geez! I want some of those for my engine!! Those are nice - look much better than the shroud/cover. Any aftermarket-type covers out there?

I initially thought you had wires running up-n-over the engine OMG what a relief that isn't the case.

I havent' see anything aftermarket that fits this nitch. Not sure if the SRT8 would fit but I don't forsee a reason it wouldn't.

I wouldn't mind something like the SRT-8s valve cover shourds but only if their easy to get on and off. I don't want a hassel if I need to get up in there and work <= just my 2 cents

<edit> We can ask out very own 65Standard over in the Magnum Section, he may be the only one with a R/T and the SRT-8 covers. You will need four mounting studs. The side where you fill the oil needs to be trimmed a little. The existing top hat studs can be replaced w/normal bolts since they will not be used.

Also, you’ll need an anvil to pound out that SRT 8 6.1 raised letters heck their probably plastic so forget that.
