There's a doghouse that goes over the engine in a van.

It's a cover.

Anyone else do this?



I wonder what they used for the clear? I would think that basic polycarbonate would melt and that glass would not handle the heat cycles or vibration well. Not to mention if it broke it would drop glass bits into the intake...  :eek2:

Interesting idea none the less. Not really my favorite but fun to see the bits moving.

Dang, that is a heck of a deal for $100.  I am not a fan of chrome, but the two places I'll work with it are under the hood and on the wheels, although I prefer aluminum.  I still have the chrome Erson covers on the Charger, but have some frankenstein'd Indy covers for the stroker...I have the black MP on the Duster...that is the iconic look imo.  I do have some blue anodized MP covers for another 440...and 2 sets of stockers...guess I can swap around for the season, lol.

Hard to beat the black MP covers imo though...they will likely top off the stroker motor when it is done...

I prefer the completely stock look.

Or what passes for stock. I had this idea a while ago, and last weekend I found that my idea has already been done!
Oh well. :shruggy:

i agree completely, well, at least in color

my 440 SIX-PACK short block came with the Chrome Dress Up Valve covers, I don't know any A-12 guys who have those, but since the guy who I bought the motor from raced MOPARs since the Max Wedge Days. he might've got them from an earlier Mope, I've never been clear on the "Engine Dress Up" package and what cars and Yrs they were Avail. on.

terrible one
