    Here ya go---This is a real Hemi engine.---Look at the size of those rocker covers, compared to the ones posted by Stu Cool. When the hole to fit over the chev rocker cover gets cut in part #2 (see previous post) it is cut offset to one side so that the largest peice of Hemi rocker cover is hung out over the exhaust manifold, but remains almost in the same place on the intake manifold side. This lets the shroud (part #3 in previous post) hang down over and hide the Chev spark plugs, so as not to spoil the illusion of a hemi motor. Note that on the Hemi, the distributor sets at the rear of the motor, similar to the small block chev engine. It is a truly stunning illusion when done correctly.
