Eric, I sell Crowers--- checkout my website www.socaldakota.com. You have to modify your stock covers slightly to clear the tops of the studs (knock in the oil baffles)--- or run MoPar Perf. valve covers. I offer both the Mopar covers, as well as a stock modified cover (powdercoated in a variety of colors)-- to make it as easy as possible of an install.
I can walk you though it, and offer complete phone support on the weekends (got free minutes on the week ends-- and I'm usually available-- except when changing my son's diapers!)
