WTB 6Cyl Valve Cover

I am looking for a aluminum valve cover for a 292 inline 6. A 250 cover will also work. Thanks, Chris

Talking

I thought a 292 and a 250 were different.

Valve covers are the same, except for in the later years, the smog outlet on the side.

I tried online and couldn't find anything but that doesn't mean they don't have it.

I ordered 2 OFFY aluminum covers for mine and theres a 2 month wait for them to cast them. I looked for used everywhere with no luck, Built my side covers from a pattern out of billet with 303 cu in engraved in them. Seems the inline 6's are getting hard to find parts for lately.

Check some boat salvage places in your area, I got mine off of an old runabout with a straight six (appeared to be a 292) it is finned aluminum and cost me twenty buck's . I would have gotten the side covers but they are too tall (also aluminum).

If the side covers are too tall then it must be a 292 and you have a 250?

Clifford told me there's a couple of month wait for their covers also due to them using a new casting company. Thanks, Chris
