Well none of the points of attachment line up with stock truck points. It wouldnt be any trouble at all to either drill a hole for the one bolt like the stock engine hat or to fab up some simple metal brackets underneath and either try to tie into the points on the underside of the engine cover or to glue some body clips like door panels use to the underside of the cover and have some brackets on the top of the intake with the appropriate size holes to fit those clips. I have done neither as of yet so not sure yet. Prolly less than two hours to figure out something.

PICS ON FIRST PAGE

Quiet you, I actually just got a new lens for my camera so I don't have the money for one now.

Now I expect to see this on your truck by Carlisle.

Im thinking on mounting the new cover to the old cover and running it like that. But seems like that may be kinda half assed. Ill prolly just build some mounts soon for it. Any neat and creative ideas?

IMO...engine covers just hold in heat. Plastic doesnt look nearly as good as a well maintained motor...
