Hi everyone. Im new to this forum. I have an 80series landcruiser with a 304 in it. Its a lot of fun as im sure you can all imagine. I want to run oil catchers on it. Im wondering if the rocker covers can be swapped. Does driver side fit passenger side and vice versa. Just think it will be a much neater job if the factory breath holes were at the back. Much more room under than bonnet than in a vn so im not worried about space. If the engine was on a stand. Would they fit ?

The drivers side cover is notched for the distributor, so it probably won't, or if it does it will be a tight fit. Either way the factory breather location will probably be an issue with distributor if you swap them.

I see a notch for the brake booster. But the rocker covers seem to be quite a distance from the dizzy

I think you're right, must have picture that notch on the wrong side of the cover.

What is your reasoning? Usually for better oil drain back people add a fitting in the back of the head.

Could always just put some fittings into the back of the rocker covers. Either get some weld on AN fittings or use some JB weld to and do it the cheap way?
