Have a laser cutting outfit cut the script out of brass sheet. Buff it so the top corners are rounded and solder it onto your cover. After painting, it should like it grew there.

My 68 with the original 292 has a script valve cover. And about two weeks ago I picked up a chrome script valve cover from the junk yard.

Could be an early '68 production, or a truck not originally made in California.
I know my original engine had a plain valve cover, and the only one who messed with it since 1973 was me. My truck was a Fremont build in late '68.
In this pic, I painted the valve cover cast iron grey to get the look of a cast aluminum Clifford or Offy cover [which I can't afford, even if I did find one.]

Here's my 230. It's amazing to me how tough this little engine is - I've had the truck about two years now and basically everything I've touched on the engine in that time has been broken, but the thing has run the whole time.

Of course, whenever I fix something it runs a whole lot better, and each time I think to myself, "How in the world was this thing running without that working?"

Well, finally got some pics into this thread, been meaning to do it but better late than never!

Neil, a friend and master mechanic that put the engine together for me. The lumps I bought from Mike, mrhotrod6@bellsouth.net.

OK, fine. I thought it might have been Larry Page, "Twisted6" on www.inliners.org. He is [or was] the president of I/I Orlando chapter. I know he was making lump port pieces a while ago.
I picked up an assembly- resto manual for the triple nickle Chevys at a used book store. What surprised me was the LX circuit design and even color code was very close to my '68 C/10 pick-up.

jchav62 · 03-15-2012, 10:34 AM

Here's the recently resurrected 250 in my '67. My buddy Abe gave me this engine when I bought the project. It had been sitting in his garage for years! It needed a little help from some trans fluid to fire up but now she runs great! Fires right up everytime...

Other than the trans fluid, all I did was clean it, paint it and drop in and HEI.

usaf1nate · 04-18-2012, 09:20 AM

here is my 250 going in a 67 GMC long backed by a s10 T5 got the offy valve cover and side plates but waiting till I'm ready to put it in

No they are Langdon headers most likely will be running duals with porter mufflers
