Couple questions, all about bolts.

Bad Sport you nailed it, the Mopar performance valve covers are hitting the Edelbrock Performer intake, Ill have to notch them. I had also found the carb was leaking fuel and pouring it into the crankcase, thinning and overfilling the oil, this may have caused the Kevco oil pan to seep oil around the gasket. Ill clean the surfaces and try it again with these fixes, hopefully leak free.
