Good news Murray! Now maybe some of the gouging will go away.  :cheers:

I have those and it seems like everyone else does also. I wish Eldebrock or someone else made cast covers. I despise having what everyone does.   :D

I agree.  I like them, but the are pretty common.

You can find some Edelbrock ones if you look...or get lucky.

Those I would buy! As said, too many already have the Mopar ones.

I wouldn't mind the Direct Connection valve covers either, for the bigger small block to come but I'm concerned that Stellaris plans for the name (subscription payments to use features in the car you bought and paid for) are going to lend it a bad reputation.  Makes me sad.

IMO Mopar Performance has been pretty much dead to us with "old" cars for a number of years now. When I think of Direct Connection it is the original one not the new Stellantis version trying to use the old name catering to new cars.

The "Mopar Performance" is a raised relief part of the casting, therefore it can be milled flat to disappear. Then maybe put an engine call-out badge in its place.
