Well....adding more under there anyway. If I can't have a blower yet I'll get everything else I want in place in the meantime. I have the last few Billet Tech parts I ordered on the way now. They shipped yesterday. I've seen these covers done on plenty of 5/7 Chargers and Challengers...no trucks yet that I've found. They're 392 1/2 covers with the raised lettering machined off and replaced with custom carbon fiber style 345 Hemi badges. I found them on ebay already made up. I had to order the 4 ball studs they mount to...those just replace the fuel rail bolts then the covers snap on. Well....after you trim them to fit around the trans dipstick, move part of the wiring harness on the right side, re-route the hard plastic line from the airbox to the oil fill neck and whatever else I may run in to. I think it'll be worth the effort when they're framing that Magna Charger early next year.

Those look great. That's going to look really nice under the hood.

It's turning into more than I bargained for.
The covers with badges were IIRC 230 shipped. I had to buy the 4 ball studs they mount to...that was another 70 bucks. The fuel line were it goes into the rail won't work so I'm another 110 bucks into the fittings for that plus the adapter to screw my fuel pressure sensor in to. After all that I still need some rubber hose and other fittings to reroute the hard plastic line over the intake outta the way AND I have to move the wiring harness on the right side by the firewall.
This **** better be worth it. lol

The driver side mods:
You have to get fittings to turn the fuel line 90* towards the back of the motor...the cover won't fit otherwise.
The area that the OEM engine cover snaps on to has to be removed from the oil fill neck and the piece of plastic the breather hose plugs on to has to be shortened.
After that just add the OEM ball studs that the covers mount to in place of the fuel rail bolts and no other mods needed on that side.

Passenger side:
392 cover has to be notched at the rear to clear the trans dipstick.
It also has to be notched between the 2 rear most coil packs to clear the wiring harness....which has to be unsnapped out of one bracket right by the ECM so it can hang lower. There's not nearly enough slack to reroute it like I hoped but this worked really well too.
That was it....added the ball studs on that side and started putting stuff back together.


The Billet Tech cover on the manifold in this pis is for a car also...I made a 1/2" spacer to lift it up and it fit like a charm.

The carbon fiber badges on the covers look nice with the Legmaker intake. Got the Billet Tech catch can done today too.
