Post Tall Big Block Valve Covers

Anyone running tall valve covers on their big block trucks with power brakes. Looks like it's gonna hit the booster.

Master Power makes a small dia booster to remedy the situation.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

I have them on my truck but I have the drum brake booster. Actually, I have one of them. I haven't sorted out how to mod the AC compressor brackets on the other side. May blow it off and buy GM cast covers :-)Man the aluminum ones seal up SO much better. FYI, run the rubber gaskets not cork.
