Measurement between valve covers on a 427

[DP935]

Would someone be so kind to measure between the valve covers of their 427 at the widest distance. I have the aluminum ones on mine. I am on the road and can't measure mine. Someone wants to know if it will fit in their car between the shock towers. Thank you...

Do you mean the width of the engine , 427 , with Aluminum valve covers , the distance from one to the other - outside measurment 25 "

Thanks john, what I am looking for is the widest distance across the engine at the top of the valve covers. In other words if I had it on an engine stand, complete with valve covers and wanted to move it through a door opening, how wide would the opening have to be?

As he said, it is 25" outside to outside of valve covers.
