If you can wait long enough, maybe I can be of some help LOL. Just got my first set of Blackbird valve covers this week, with two more on order, and I have all the other parts I need to try my first iteration on the Hellcat. Unfortunately, I have on-going family matters that take priority over my shop play time lately, but I plan to try and get out there this weekend to finish tearing things off so I can begin the swap...

Yep, after thinking about it a bit and with what Geoff has advised, I have a plan to try and I will see how it works out. There is going to be a lot of related work than just swapping the covers that will take me time going slow, because I am going to try and make things look good and not a total hack job. I already have seen there is one stinking wire on the left side that runs with the coil harness that goes all the way to the front for the A/C comp (I think) and has to stay where it is, so I am going to have to carefully cut all the OEM Tesa tape from front to back to get the coil wires out at the branch at the rear so I can move 'em up. Haven't even started on the right side yet - gotta get the cowl and all the other shyt out of the way first...and yes, the PS pump is the biggest risk I see - I sort of went out on a limb to get these covers while they are "on sale" - price is going up $50 on March 1. From visual comparison, they look like they SHOULD clear, but if not, then I have a bigger challenge to deal with that I was hoping to avoid.

Lol. That’s ok. Btw…. A set of their new cast covers will be going on this engine. I already run my coils upside down so that’s good. I ordered them with the black wrinkle finish without logo. I can’t run another engine builders name on my Spankintime built motor. Geoff confirmed that they will clear my T&D rockers. I already have a new set of Cornerstone billet covers but I’m not sure yet if they will clear. I’ll be selling the 426 that I’ve been running as a complete long block and will probably include those as part of the package. They are beautiful.
