Turbo 300 Inline Six Custom Valve Cover (roller rocker clearance mod) - Part 1

In today's video I started making a custom valve cover for my turbo 300 inline six that will be tall enough to clear a set of roller rockers.

I built a 300 with roller rockers 30 years ago. I made them fit under the stock valve cover by using Dodge 225 pushrods and machining a little bit off the adjusters.

[@John3_16Q]

[@kingyaa4555]

Great vidz

[@joelbates5166]

on your turbo 300 are you using the stock 300 fuel pump?

[@dayneh5734]

Can you do a vid about the wiring for your gauge cluster

I was thinking of doing the same thing. I can't wait to see how the valve cover fits.....I got the BBF roller lifters the other day. Once I get the garage cleaned out I'll get room to roll the engine in to tear it down to see how much cutting or grinding to the Block to get the lifters in.

[@WerthersOriginal131]

let me know if youre willing to sell the truck. name your price

[@Beandiptheredneck]

You might be able to afford the aussie one if you hadnt wasted your paycheck 😂 jk. I wouldnt pay 350 plus shipping either. Gotta be a more economical way

[@dheujsnrhfydhehehshshhdggsd]

I think it looks darn tootin. Nice work. Thanks for having the confidence to show us the work

[@ebinmaine]

Ugly? No no no. I think it's cool as hell.

[@kurtismiller9544]

sounds like your idea will work out just fine, like you said care ful welds and a good sanding, no one will know the difference.

[@williamalexpage9288]

Thanks for all the inspiration! I wasn't really thinking about doing much to my '77 4.9...........🤔. Things may get 🤠!

[@jessiegarcia6020]
