Do you have any issues getting to your spark plugs?
Do you have an A/C compressor mounted -- any issues, there?

CF member b71vette installed hedman side dump with factory side covers ... IIRC it was a small block ... he posted good pics & info ... he & his son did a great job.

No issues with spark plugs or a/c;however I think my a/c bracket may have been modified by a previous owner. Not sure what an original looks like. They have been on for about a year with no problems.
