used valve covers needed - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

i am looking for a set of painted / paintable vintage valve covers for my 327. no pcv or oil fill holes. would prefer the raised chevrolet lettering. i have a pair on there now, but PO had one of the covers on upside down and the rockers had been beaten against the sides where it cracked.

has chevy or any other company reproduced these?

bucket, not sure if they have been reproduced or not but I think I have a set of raised letter "Chevrolet" script setting in the parts shed. Will look and let you know for sure this evening. I'm sure they would need blasted, primed and re-painted to look good but no rust or tears that I know of. Let you know later this evening. I'm even "somewhat" local being just south of Wichita.

bucket, I found the "Chevrolet" script sbc valve covers, usual amount of dirt and crud inside, several coats of paint and some minor dings. Nothing serious. Drivers' side with the tabs for engine wire, passenger side is without tab. Would clean up good with a little TLC. Looked through all my catalogs and closest re-pops I could find was by Classic Industries in Huntington Beach, Cal. Plain cast steel, no script, $129 pair, polished chrome, no script, $139 pair. No holes in the covers, solid, fits 55-67 327 sbc. Mine aren't near that nice or that price either ! PM me if interested.

Bucket,
I have these laying around the garage. They don't have the script, but they are for a 327 with no PCV or oil fill holes. E-mail me if you are interested.
