Yeah I don’t know if they will take the 1300 degrees or so lol. maybe wrap them and the header. or make somkind of little metal bracket/heatshield that can go around where the threads are when you bolt it on to cover the bottom half of it.

If those are -10AN bungs on there I’ll trade you my valve cover (stripped…same as yours) with two more -10AN bungs so you can move them. I ust never got around to welding them onto mine. That way you can move them to the back without any cost incurred.
