THANKS Twisted_Metal 05-31-2007, 02:59:21 PM I got tired of trying to get the old , tin stock covers to seal decently.... I found a set of cast aluminum ones at a car show for $50. They look like this... http://i22.ebayimg.com/06/i/000/a1/46/57d9_1_b.JPG You should be able to find them on Ebay for $60-70 shipped, tall or short style. cam70dude 05-31-2007, 03:17:47 PM These are cool in an old skool kinda way. http://www.yourcovers.com/vc_10430.shtml kenny77 05-31-2007, 05:13:20 PM I love these that I got from a 74 vette, but I've always liked this type of stock covers. I say go with factory stuff. Twisteds' covers are fine too.>>>>>>>>>>>>> http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t110/camaropigs2000/engine1.jpg 70ssrat 06-02-2007, 12:06:31 AM I just posted in another thread the fact that skip white racing in Tenn. has some super slick fabricated aluminum sheetmetal covers at very reasonable prices. If you want to check them out they have a store on ebay with pics and prices. Southern72 06-02-2007, 11:59:17 AM I have the skip white fabricated covers off ebay.They looked great polished but i had them powdercoated black and I think they look tits. I had a thread about it somewhere on here. K5JMP 06-02-2007, 12:17:30 PM I have been using the Hart Indstruies composite (fiberglass) valve covers for about 10yrs... same set... sure would like to get my hands on a set of cast Brodix covers to match my heads. Just don't wanna drop the coin right now though... If you look back musclecarjohn got a set of CF covers that are sharp... "look what the ups guy brought" was the thread... or some nonsense like that... http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r250/k5jmp/motor1.jpg Gary S 06-02-2007, 12:51:11 PM Whatever you choose, make sure they have internal baffles for the PCV connections, or you could easily end up having serious oil consumption issues and leaks on your engine. K5JMP 06-02-2007, 12:58:22 PM Whatever you choose, make sure they have internal baffles for the PCV connections, or you could easily end up having serious oil consumption issues and leaks on your engine. Absolutely correct!! I use an evac system that dumps into the collectors. But my car see's very few miles. If you plan on driving it... make sure they are baffled properly.
