Cool offset plates. What gauge are they?

I'd leave the stock valve covers and save the $$$. Looks fine...paint the set up Chrysler blue and you're set!.
I like this kind of hot-rodding, finding cheap stuff from salvage yards and making it all work.

They are 1/2 inch. A little over kill maybe but They will have allot of weight on them.
I would keep the valve covers but the bolt pattern is different than the viper heads
That's why I was asking. I've done a few conversion plates and I've bent the crap out of a few pairs. Won't be any problems with 1/2"!
Just picked up this stock V10 I will be using as my starter engine. Picked it up on CL Chicago for $450, 100k miles with the trans, all the accessories, computer, all the power train and under hood wiring. Came out of a 2500 that was hit in the rear and totaled.

This looks like fun, I'm in.
Started making the oil pan. The stock truck pan is a rear sump and as you know the C body is a center sump. I decided to cut and section the stock 383 pan onto the truck pan. The V10 has a 7qt oil capacity so after I get the main section made I will add a section to the sump to make it deeper.

Cool project!
Tonight I spent 4 hours trying to get the engine and trans in the car but I didn’t have enough clearance with the engine and trans together. All I needed was an inch for the pan to clear the k frame but couldn’t get it done. Adding 2 inches to the pan made it to tight so I’m going to install the trans first and drop the engine in. Hope to get to it tomorrow.
What pick up did you use ?..Fab ?
Cool project !
I hope it’s going to have a white interior
