When I get around to pulling my valve covers off for cleaning, I'm going to paint them with that high temp wrinkle black. I did a set of valve covers for a Buick 231 back in the day. The paint dries with a fine crinkle to it...something different.

One thing's for sure...you're engine is much better looking than mine!
IF, that's a big IF, the case ever comes around that a guy has to pull the motor out of these things, how do you suppose is the easiest way to get it out? Thru the cab and out the door? Pull the front clip and take it out the front? Drop it out the bottom after removing most of the suspension?

I was thinking about getting a set of valve covers, I like the sound of that wrinkle black I might try that, The best way to pull the motor is remove the front clip and pull it out the front, I dont think they will come through the cab and if they will the trans would have to be droped first from the bottom, It's not really hard at all to pull the motor and trans at once through the front after removing the clip, If this 440 ever comes out it will be replaced with a smaller motor and the 440 built for a old dodge street car.
