    Yes. They have half covers to fit any HEMI.

    Dude, I dig them. They look great on your motor partly because your most awesome intake, my 5.7 has that ugly plastic intake so it would look like it's half done. Sooo, until I replace the intake with? Maybe a 392 intake or ? when I finish that I will go with the valve covers. I do however like the way you had the Hemi R/T put on them.
    I did note they make a center plate for the small block (5.7) motor cover that's blank. That would be kind of my style anyway and I have looked into something like that.
    Carbon-fiber is the coolest thing I could find but they were quite expensive and I really only wanted to replace the center part.
    Why, well I really do not like the 5.7 molded into the center part, like I keep saying if you know your cars and you see the motor you know 6.1/6.2/5.7 or 392/345 which I refer as 340/small block anyway. Im old school and the 5.7 reminds me of Euro cars and if I wanted that I would have went BMW or whatever. No thanks, American Muscle or muscle cars don't roll with liter motors. Sounds so wussy......
    Maybe I'll buy it and have it old school hotrod pinstriped, the tailgate of the pick-up was done in the mid 2000's by this cat in Santa Cruz who's since passed. A touch of........
