SuperRam Runners/Valve cover clearance
How much grinding does it take? Those valve cover walls aren't that thick. I've been grinding away for quite some time and I still can't get them on.

If you're using Roller Rockers, did you remove the drip tabs? When I test fit mine, they wouldn't go down all the way because the drip tabs were hitting the rockers.

I do not think mine have any ground off(I could be mistaken) If you go too far with yours or can't get them to work out, I know mine will. . . I'll cut you a great deal :) (Only if necessary)

Re: SuperRam Runners/Valve cover clearance (MITCH)
They will fit you just have to coax them a bit. I didn't have to grind any, but did just to make it a bit easier. They always require a slight smack to get them past that tight point. Once past they move freely.

Yikes, thanks for the heads up :eek:
I'm gonna have mine powder coated... looks like I better test fit them first though :yesnod:

Re: SuperRam Runners/Valve cover clearance (Caboboy)
O.kay, I got the drivers side on but I may have screwed up my assembly sequence. I can't get the #7 injector connecter on its' injector. Was I supposed to wire up my injectors before putting the runners and plenum on.
If so how do you get the valve cover on with all the injectors plugged in?

Ahh yes #7.
Unplug #5 and then stick a screwdriver in their and twist #7 so that the plug is kind of facing towards #5. It isn't easy, but can be done! :yesnod: Once you have it on twist the injector straight again and put #5 back on. :)
Oh and you just have to kind of pull up on the wiring harness to slip the cover in under it.

Re: (ski_dwn_it)
That wierd I did not have to take any off the valve covers. As for the injectors I can get all mine on and off with no trouble at all. :confused:
Thanks Brian, I'll give that a shot.

Re: (chucks88)
Jesse! You got your SuperRam on without removing your covers :skep:
I have taken it off with the RR on where many claim you have to remove a few of them as well.

Re: Edelbrock Base (JD 90 383)
Yep, It is an edelbrock base. However, "Mitch" whom I bought the base, runners and plenum from, had no valve cover clearance issues when it was on his L98.
Jesse, I just plain read that wrong-my bad
Vic, you can't rush an artist :D
Here is the latest pic(makes a good mini work bench too) I didn't work on it today and probably wont tomorrow either.
Happy Holidays all :seeya

That photo looks really good Chuck!
Did you run the fuel injector wire harness UNDER the runners? Mine before the DFI we're there. It looks much better that way(to me).
Good luck getting the rest of it together,and I hope things go smoothly afterword. :cheers:
