There are a couple options that are out there, but I used these:

Wow, I like that look. Thanks very much for the reply. Is that your motor that they are on? Awesome!!

1)Can anybody get me rough physical dimensions Length, width, Height?
2)Are both sides the same?
3)Are the 5.7 and 6.1 valve covers interchangeable?
4)Can the oil fill be located in the valve cover instead of the manifold? This one is not that important it would just make the manifold easier.

Any progress on these Jeff? If you haven't seen the sheet metal valve covers Bruning made, check them out, they would be a perfect match for your intake. Also, is it possible to get physical dimensions on the Hemi manifold, OR is it taller/shorter than the stock car manifold, and by how much? If you don't do the valve covers, is it possible to relocate the oil fill further forward on the manifold. I've got my engine set back into the firewall and the pic you posted of the Hemi manifold will not allow me to fill oil. Thanks Jeff.

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...
