Will fit Gen 2 and Gen 2 perfectly, adds 1.25 inches of rocker clearance. Just don't now if there is a market for big tall valve covers that can
be painted, powder coated, polished, chromed etc.

I am actually looking at investing in a casting mold and making these out of some pretty high quality T6 - 356, I would be looking at selling them at around $500 a set in a finish that can be painted or chromed etc. I could also get them polished up as well or the recipient could polish them up as well, a logo or script could be machined or engraved into the top as well for an extra charge or a plate could be mounted like the BB 572 do. Unfortunately I would need to get a group buy going and get about 20 people on board in order to make this viable.

I think there is a market for them, albeit small. The better looking they are, the bigger the market. Can they be individualized to each customer?

Hey Mike,

That is the beauty of the plain top, not only would a person need a license with Chrysler to manufacture these with an actual viper logo on them, but anyone once they get these can get whatever they want engraved on them at an engraving shop or in the alternative I can work out a package for engraving logos and various verbiage.

like "TWIN TURBO"
"512 cubic Inch"
"1000 HorsePower"
"Lethal Viper"
etc.
\ etc.

I think that would make the VC's an entirely new point of differentiation. Historically, all folks could do is powdercoat 'em...which is nice but not as distinct as what you describe could be engraved. Very Cool.

" what do you think about a catch can with the breather system, as an option? Looks nice. :2tu:"


Definitely, these have a complete oil baffle like stock, but the wall thicknes and height allow for a catch can to be plugged in so to speak anywhere you want
