I don't see any "chrome" valve covers for magnum engines listed in the Mopar
Performance catalog. They list polished or black cast aluminum for
magnums. These have 10 bolt holes and come with baffles for you to
install. They clear the rockers just fine.
If you have chrome covers, do they have 5 bolt holes? (i know they will
fit...just less attaching bolts) I sold a pair of chrome mopar valve
covers for non-magnum small blocks (5 bolt holes) over a year ago but seem
to recall they had a baffle under one of the openings. You really need one
under the PCV valve.
