swapping the '04 srt-4 engine into the '00 neon soon. i want to keep it as sleeper as i can even if someone looks under the hood. could i fit a DOHC N/A valve cover on it?

umm why would if matter if you have an NA valve cover when theres a snail hanging off the back of the block?

thats true you can see them on these motors. on my 2.2 its under the intake manifold syou you really need to look to find it. i guess my only way to keep it sleeper is to never open the hood hu? lol

And put a silencer on the BOV. I'm not too sure if spool up is as audible as it was on the 2.2 cars either. Tho the blow off was virtually silent on those. But then 8 to 12 psi was about all they made stock.

haha usually the term sleeper refers to the exterior of the car. Then when you pop the hood.. all business. When would u be in a position to pop the hood but NOT want to show off the engine?

i dont like anything flashy. even under the hood. with my shadow, i painted the car camo, wheels olive drab, and anything shiny under the hood was hit with olive drab. IC piping, Vibrant couplers, BOV, intercooler, air filter (not the element just the plastic on it lol) under the hood looked like it had been sitting in a junk yard for a while. but it was all new stuff. stage 5 custom ported head, ported manifolds, custom built turbo (stock T25 Garrett housings machined out with a T3/T4 center section .48 stage 3 exhaust wheel, .52 T4 compressor wheel) Fidanza 8lb flywheel, custom made 6 puck clutch, getrag 555 trans... the thing def turned some heads when i walked all over 5.0's and wrx's

Looks like you'll be calling David Copperfield on this one.

ya i guess my best bet on this one is just anodize the front mount black then just keep the hood shut.
