re the valve covers and clearance thing, i used comp pro magnum rockers which let me use stock height valve covers. then i didn't need a spacer.
and i have a 96-98 cobra hood with a typhoon intake and a k-member from AJE that is supposed to drop the motor about 3/4". there was a spot where it hit, but it was fine because we only had to remove a little of the bracing under the hood to fix it.
of course the typhoon is really holding the motor back, but i like the bling of it and it is already plenty fast enough for me, especially since i am 100% street and never go to the track

heh i'd have been happy if it was only 6 grand. i think i ended up closer to 10 grand all told. then again, i got all the polished stuff and agreed to all the suggestions my builder made, some of which were not really necessaryI tried to put fox valve covers on my engine when I built it, and it didn't clear the alternator. The oil fill neck was also in a hard place to work around. If you build a 351 stroker with nice aluminum heads, by the time you add up all the nickel and dime items, it will be over $6K.
