HO Valve Cover

I came up with a way to show that my engine is a "HO". The work was done by Custom Auto Design (Robert Pradke) in Eastford, CT http://www.customautodesign.com. I have no affiliation with Robert or his business.

Edit: The truck now runs much stronger, I estimate the valve covers will give me 700 hp and 1500# of torque. I will certainly get over 35 mpg now. Jeannine says that I have finally gone over the edge, but thinks the design is "pretty". I had better not mention exhaust system or 19.5" rims for a while
