The motor is in!!!

well we got the motor sat in the truck today... had some motor mount issues and still have to get some of those worked out... but i think mounting the tranny up will solve those... but another issue i have is still my valve covers.... we had some cast aluminum ones around and they won't fit.... that darn brake booster... so i still don't know exactly what i am going to do... i can't run the m/t ones because of my roller rockers... so i have to have some bigger, but i don't think i can get them on... the ones i ordered haven't come in yet so i guess i will have to wait and see... here is a crappy pic that i took with my phone... what do you guys with big blocks and roller rockers do???? i am really wondering... i guess i am going to have to loosen my booster to get my covers on.... i am at a loss.
