Valve cover question

[John Howland]

Does anyone know if a 1147 valve cover is the same or will fit a 1500? Also, I have seen many ribbed aluminum 1500 valve covers but the oil filler is on the wrong end and be too close to the firewall. Is there one made with the oil filler on the fan end? Thanks!

a 1147 valve cover is the same or will fit a 1500? NO will not fit.

Thanks Gord, So the only way to use one of the Repro aluminum valve covers, since the mount stud holes are offset and it cannot be just turned around, is to re drill the valve cover then alum. weld the old holes up . Or for a 1500 swap you could do the same to a steel valve cover, to get the oil fill cap away from the firewall.
