I am happy with mine. Mine are at least 14 years old and plenty of street miles and passes.

Well I’m not real excited about buying the oversized covers from John Arruzza. I have read when you buy something from him it’s yours if it works or not. So I going on the hunt for some
regular ole factory or aftermarket tin ones and will make them work. Besides I’m not sure if there are correct tubes to use on the ones john has to offer.

Dont know about the tubes , from what I hear , I wouldn`t want to buy too many wrong ones anymore , hemi parts are out of this world now , which I`m sure you know..

Gorgeous stuff! Almost makes one want clear covers so it's visible all the time...
I know I know, it doesn't work that way but wow, a shame almost to cover that up.

I totally agree Ed they could make them as fine without all them fancy looks and sell them at a lower price and it wouldn’t be such a shame to cap them with a cover

You can obviously see how the month and date are really important to me

The ports on my Stage V intake are quite a bit smaller than the intake ports on the Stage V heads. And the intake gaskets are bigger than the ports on the intake and a bit smaller than the head ports so do I match the gaskets to the head ports and go with it or should the intake ports be matched to the heads as well?
