That would be like well over $300 for a set of 6 after S&H. :shock:

I know, right?!? I thought they were a little pricey too. But, they say they are machined to clear ARP studs... Just throwing them out there.

they sure look purty, but a drill and some rtv is a much cheaper way to clear the arp studs :lol: :lol: :lol:

I saw these or what looked like the same ones at BD last year in Canada. I also told them if they are going to make them the right way that they should make them a 1/2" higher for the clearance for head studs.

The took that into consideration. Not sure if they ever did it because they would have had to supply a new bolt as well.

They are real nice looking... Got to look over the proto type product in hand.

Yes here they are BD made them... You can thank me for telling the guy (why build a cool valve cover that dont serve a purpose other then looks.) I explained the issue some have with clearance of head studs... lol

Looks like they made that a selling point. Glad to see that they did that..
