Holy shit! bad01neon, I love your valve cover! As soon as someone gets theirs off and ships it to me, I'm gonna start working on mine. I was going to do something with the "2.0 SOHC" thing, but I might just shave them off when I get my valve cover. Not sure...I wanna play around with a few ideas first...and remember, I'm going with this theme:

Any 1st Gen SOHC valvecover or a 2nd Gen Magnum valvecover can be powdercoated. You can also buy them in three colours already powdercoated from Mancini Racing out of Michigan.

P.S. That one that Brodie (Supertrick) did looks awesome for your plan!

Yep, just make sure to get the proper gasket kit for the valve cover you decide on. The 1gen gasket is different than the 2gen kit.

Here's a write-up I did on the 1gen valve cover install:

i have not put on mine yet but i think im just going to put some rtv around where the first gen loops are at. I just dont see how that area can really affect the sealing of even a first gen cover on a second gen car.

I really don't see everyone's obsession with the shocker, but it is a cool valve cover
