Valve Covers

Is there a way to find a valve cover that will fit my 351W but where the oil filler hole is moved a little? I need it to be moved to the firewall about 2" and need to get new valve covers, was hoping I could somehow find ones that fit my need.

Thanks.

Out of curiosity, why do you need it moved back to there? valve cover choices for EFI are pretty limited to begin with, you could have some made like that tho.

I used a set of summit alum welded covers , and drilled the holes where i needed them , they are tall enough for a hi lift cam and fit nice , i like the way the bolts go through the top of the cover not the flange .....Lew

Do you have any pics of your set-up Lew? So the covers came blank and you had to drill them yourself?

The supercharger inlet tube hits the oil filler tube
