I want to buy these cover even though my engine is a 5.7L



Would these fit, what do you guys think?

I know it's a fake srt lol

Tacky.... there are covers that say 345 Hemi on them that are a direct fit and won't make you look like your trying to hard... cosmetics I can see, lots of people like the look of an SRT, saying your motored up or repping SRT badges is poser IMO....

Now as for fitment....those will need modded to bolt on if that's how you go sir!

Check ebay saw them on there a while ago..and what he said^^^^

 

[mrcant2]

I apologize if I offended any true SRT8 owners, I didn't mean to... With that said, do you guys mean something like this?


But man the 345 are $100 more expensive :0

 

[silver06hemic]

No offence taken here! I think SRT upgrades fine right look very nice...stock the badges on and then I think it's a bit poser. Lol. My car looks like an SRT, sounds like one, goes like one..but no badges...it's not one... ;-) lol

Not $100 more sucks...Let me have a look as well, must be something! I think there are sheet metal ones out there add well that look awesome!

Thank you... For the 392 on ebay $110 the pair fir the 345 on ebay $199 plus $25 shipping


I wonder if a local dealership would carry them?!

 

[silver06hemic]

Hmmm...Good question... I'm thinking no as I don't think they are a dealer item...did you check Amazon pal?

I did check amazon but it's pretty much the same as ebay... I called two local Dodge/Chrysler dealers and they only carry the 392 or 6.4L covers and I have to wait 2 - 3 weeks and they are $66 driver and $58 passenger

Those won't fit in any event.

:-(

Well I guess I don't have options?!

 

[MADDOG]

Yeah, you got options but they are aftermarket options.

Thank you MADDOG, I guess I will just paint the OEM one since all after market covers go for $200+

 

[Patdow1]

They wont fit, trust me I know because I attempted this months ago. If you are worried about the SRT purist just get some decals from Rebadge :: Muscle Gallery and make everyone happy. LOL

I may end up tackling this project again in a few but kinda gave up for now. The main hurdle is the oil dipstick on the passenger side.
I found my post that was EXPIRED for some reason but here you go.

Since that post I have purchased another 392 cover from a 300SRT that doesn't fit as well, may end up modding the dip stick when time permits.

 

[mrcant2]

I painted some of the engine bay compartments...

And I'll be working on my engine cover whenever I find some spare time...

More pics to come... Hopefully tomorrow when I clean the engine, there's a lot of dust!

 

[mrcant2]

What do y'all think of this Mopar Hood Prop I made?

 

[MADDOG]

How about something like this?

 

[MADDOG]

 

[mrcant2]

That's nice!!! Thank you for keeping me in mind, where could I buy these?

I don't have the proper tools/machine to bend the raw metal in those angles...

 

[MADDOG]

You could have a shop make them for ya or contact 3G Customz and talk with them. They make similar covers and a lot more for the engine compartment of 300's, Chargers, Magnums and Challengers.

Keep in mind that our 5.7 intake manifolds are not as good looking as the 6.1's that have been posted.
