My truck has POL tubular motor mounts on it that move the motor forward slightly.

Re: 1972 Black Cheyenne Super Big Block - JWall

Re: 1972 Black Cheyenne Super Big Block - JWall

Yes they give you a nice gain in space.
Since I haven't pulled a valve cover off of it, I cant say for sure but I'd say it'll be tight pulling them off because of the brake booster but I think it can be done.

FYI V-8 engines sit further back in the frame on 4-wheel drives than 2-wheel drives, roughly 2-3 inches. Hense the major valve cover clearance issues.

Re: 1972 Black Cheyenne Super Big Block - JWall

Very nice! It's the little details that take a truck from nice to SHOW quality sometimes. And not everyone will notice the changes...but when you see the pictures you can just tell the truck looks nicer
