528 hemi swap

I actually thought the engine blocks were a bit bigger in size....

SO, let me ask, valve covers, from the 426, to the 472 to 528, to the 540 to the 572, are they all the same too? I mean can you take a factory 426 from the late 60's and bolt it right on to any of the other heads, that are of course factory? I've seen in pictures 426 and 528 valve covers, nothing I could actually touch and feel for sizing, but are they they interchangeable? But, the 528 looks to be different in size, much more bulky, mean, nasty looking "get the hell out of my way" sort of look to them, not that the 426 does have that too, but it seems to be a bit smaller then the 528 valve covers.....

All the differences are internal, if you ever have seen an original Hemi A body you can see that there is no room in the engine compartment to accommodate anything larger. Some of the new hemi blocks have the ability to be bored out a lot larger than the originals allowing you to make a bunch more cubic inches.
