Default Re: Day 2 Valve Covers

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Schonyenko2</div><div class="ubbcode-body">M/Ts would be my choice with the 396/427 cast in. Back in the day before every body had an electric engraving tool, they'd take the covers to a jeweler who would engrave his name, or whatever, on the flat space to keep them from being stolen, or to identify them later. </div></div>

I second the thought of the early M/T with the 396 cast inot the cover. You see a fair amount of the 427 ones bouncing around these days, but the 396 ones are rare. Would be a nice compliment to an L78 car.

Here are the 427 covers (but I have seen 396 ones too)


here are the later 1970+ covers


I especially like them chomed with the right breathers
