New parts arriving. Jegs own valve covers were cheapest, tall, center bolt I could find. Pretty thick cast alum, I like em! Mr Gasket breathers, $7 at local parts store. Fingers crossed the 750 Summit carb will be as GREAT as the salesman said it is. My engine builder shakes his head at it but the $787 Holley will have to wait. Weiand Air Gap type High Rise is $125 less than Edelbrock. Sent 110245-10 Howards cam back for higher lift 110255-12. And......returned roller rockers when I discovered they werent narrow body, sself aligning. (Vortec heads) Going w Pro Form 66915 rockers..Studs will be pinned. The Vortecs are going to do the job, got them for nothing so could affor to put $500? into them, but it sure would have been easier to start with regular heads. Ive replace water pumps, starters etc in my life but nothing more technical so this has BEEN A LEARNING EXPERIENCE FOR SURE!
