Show me your big block tall valve covers installed on the truck - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Getting ready to do some motor work. I want to be sure there are no clearance problems with the tall valve covers in my '69 big block.

Pics of the motor, in the truck, with the tall covers, please?

Thanks!

Here's a whole thread of BB engine bay pics (tall and short covers)

Thanks, VA72C10.

Looks like there are no clearance problems so I will go ahead and order the parts I want on the motor.

More pics of the tall covers on the drivers side would still be appreciated

Deck height not valve cover height will be more important. The stock 10 in booster will likely need to be replaced with a smaller dual diaphragm unit to fit.

I checked Summit racing and they don't list a smaller booster for my 68 c10?

Where did you buy yours? If you have the part number it would be a huge help.
Thanks for the help..
