Center bolt SB valve cover question
Has anyone found any real trick (nice looking) center bolt valve covers for the '87- SBC? I need two sets and I've been searching without a lot of luck. I don't need a notch out in either side.

Re: Center bolt SB valve cover question
I like the 86 to 91 l98 vet covers the best they remind we of the old school finned valve covers. there painted so if you want them polished your going to have to beed blast them down and polish them. I have a set Im polishing up now to use. if you get them from GM get ready for a heart atack there 240 a set. ebay around 100 a set . there Magneeziam so when you polish them up they look alittle diffrent then the aluminam but they come out great. If I can get my cammra to work with me today Ill try and get a pic for you.

Re: Center bolt SB valve cover question
here are a set of the vet ones after I blasted them I hit one with a buffer for a minute so it would shine a little but it isnt done yet.

Re: Center bolt SB valve cover question
Seems like someone has center-bolt valve covers that mimic the early Olds valve covers....if a little deception isn't out of the question.
