Those KE valve covers that I bought for it (on my boat now) would have been perfect for your colors.

Thanks Chris. That's what I'm shooting for, a little contrast without too much flash - I kind of want it to scream class, but say it with a whisper if you know what I mean. That's really my intention for the whole boat. The White/Gray/Black has always been the color scheme for me. Here's my last boat.
Mind you, I had the paint done in the mid-90's, so my design is a little dated for today.

Yeah, planning on it closer to spring time before she's goes back in. Figure that way I'll be able to see what I've got, and be able to do the break-in before it's even mounted in the bilge. Didn't go crazy on the build, but I'm expecting a bit more than the stock 330hp. Remember, we're on a budget here... Hoping to see closer to 400, but If I fall short, I'm not gonna be disappointed. I'm not trying to build a rocket.

Yeah, they would fit in perfect. I haven't shopped valve covers yet, what kind of coin am I getting into?

As I recall, they were around $275. But I'm not convinced that the KE covers are worth it (notice that Kustom Engines by Keith Eikert doesn't use them!)... The breathers seem to require the use of the little K&N style car breathers rather than the lines up to the carb... or as I refer to it, my "auto-fogging system".

How tall is that??
With the stock intake, and stock arrestor, I still had about 6" clearance to the hatch (Chris raised the hatch when he had the big motor in it - I'm assuming), so I should still have plenty of space.
I don't want to put a scoop on the hatch. I like the look of a scoop, but that's not the look I'm going for with this boat. I want to keep it a classic look.

With the same deck height motor and a dart intake with a 1" spacer the tallest arrestor that I could fit was 3". If your intake is 1" shorter than the dart single plane and you use no spacer the 5" might fit.. The stock 330 intake and arrestor are very very short. I have some good budget valve covers if you are interested and don't mind painting or powdercoating them, PM me. Chris
