At least you know ahead of time that there may be an issue , unlike me who spent a saterday installing the dove set up , lashing valves , and when you think your almost done ...

Just a quick update. The Blue Thunder valve covers from DSC arrived today as promised.
I have not been able to try them on the engine yet.
The quality is impressive.

Comp ones fit on pretty much everything. Factory cast 428 covers will sometimes tag on the end stands - just barely - double gaskets provide enough clearance. Factory tin covers seen to tag on the filler baffles - but clear elsewhere.

I got the extra thick cork gaskets from DSC. They are sweet! I finished up the second valve cover and everything is honky dory.
Pics when I get a chance.
Even though it was extra work, I am very happy with the Blue Thunder valve covers.

Question:
I am going to run the oil overflow tank as per original style. The Edelbrock intake has a casting provision for the hose plate but it is not drilled. Is there a way to add the hole without pulling the intake. I would hate to pull everything apart after Keith did such a nice job.

Here are some pics. Note the organic, unmachined nature of the grinding. This look was very difficult to replicate using the laser cutting machine.
