Ideas for valve cover to booster clearance?

[PxTx]

Mark, I appreciate the though and suggestion. That is the direction I started. If you can see the picture, the tin cover IS one of those taller stock looking jobs. Any I may run that (throw the matching one on the other side) and a decal or two to keep the project going.

Long term, I would like to run the Mickey Thompson covers or Ansen- so we'll see.

Since these are early L-88 heads (392) we did upgrade to the longer studs, running SS Crower rockers with a decent roller. We did have to repair the boss on one of the studs, and for that reason, the stud girdle was used. A shaft system would have been nice, but that is hindsight.

There are a few things you can do.

LOSE the studle girdle. My 074's with those rockers seem to work well for me. We tapped them deeper, cryro'ed the heads and vac sealed as well. Roller cam in the 725 range and make 785Hp @ 7200. I run the 3/4" cheater valve cover as well.

Seeing as it's not ment as a stock build with headers showing, lose the large booster for a smaller aftermarket one.
