I replied to your post in my Cuda thread..
Jeff wont be making any valve covers for the HEMI.... I gave him mine to measure and use as a staring point for a design. But the bottomline came out that the cost of the design, engineering and production cost for Jeff, just couldnt be supported by the market....the valve covers would just be too expensive to make and sell for a small market.....so he's not going to make them and I dont blame him.
As for the intake....he's building mine as we speak and we arent putting the oil fill canister in the back of the manifold....I though it ruined the look of the intake. On mine we are just putting the oil fill in the stock location....mine will just have a small cap, but he can make a longer neck like the stock if you want.
As for the height.... the prototype in the post is about 3/4 inch taller than stock if I remember correctly...maybe 1 inch, not 100% sure....but it is taller than stock .....
On mine its going to be shorter overall and the TB will be moved down and back compared to the first version.... he let me test fit the prototype on my car, but with the motor raised about 1.5 inches, the body of the manifold fit fine but the position of the TB hit my hood. So he made some tweaks to lower the manifold body and reposition the TB as low and as far back as he could...trying to balance the fit and not destroy the performance of the manifold at the same time....hopefully it will fit and perform at the same time...
Last I talked to him, the manifold should be done in the next 1-2 weeks, so I'll post up when it arrives...
