What Valve Covers are You running on your SBC?

The 350 in my 68 daily has a set of polished cast aluminum valve covers, ball milled. Working around street rods everyday I'm tired of seeing them and looking for other ideas. Need a new air cleaner also, so throw some pics up of your setup!

Re: What Valve Covers are You running on your SBC?

I guess I have some partiality to the old licensed Proform stuff.

The cast aluminum covers on the EFI / E-tech motor in the Camino


and same on the TBI 383 I built for the 4x4



and the light weight fabricated Proform covers on the truck




Fabricated Moroso's on the Nova


My son's 67 Camino we used a set of old Z-28 covers..
