Is there a picture of one of these finished? I would buy one and put a beefy
5.9 cummins in it or something (You can buy the 5.9 from cummins) The dodge
cummins is only a valve cover. Cummins hooked up with dodge to put the
engines into a dodge chassis. The 5.9 cummins is actually used in tractors
(like on farms) Purchase a cummins directly from them, and you'll get the
cummins valve cover!!!
