Re: Valve cover clearance

Which motor mount brackets did you use? On my Suburban I made my own so I could move the engine forward a couple of inches for enough firewall clearance. I'm running the M/T covers as well.

Now i will tell you clearance is a lil tight by the power brake booster and fan box but unless you are running a solid cam this should be no problem
