Title: WTB 429/460 BBF Finned Aluminum Valve Covers
Post by: chopperimpala on May 29, 2011, 11:20:51 AM

Looking for the OLDER style ie: M/T, Edelbrock, Offy, Cal Custom, etc. NOT the newer Ford Racing or fabricated style. Also Damaged, cracked, broken is fine I can weld them up if needed, going for a "70's period look".
 Thanks, Ken (chopperimpala@yahoo.com)

Make me an offer. These are REALLY nice, so the standard SCJB fitty bucks isn't close. Just won't clear the  rockers and stud girdles on the engine they were intended for..........same 70's period dealio but a tad more extreme....... >:D

They're 2 7/8" deep from the rail where they seal on the head to the inside of the top on the intake side (Not including gasket thickness.....), and 3 1/4" across the top from the intake side to the exhaust side. Most girdles should be fine. Were on Moo's old setup. New setup just will not allow it. But Paul told me I hadda so......  :'(
