Those covers in the pic are stock GM that have been striipped and polished.

Hmmmm. My dad has a brand new set of Moon valve covers for a BBC with the optional breathers installed. He's been trying to get my lazy butt to put them on ebay for him or buy them for my own truck. Are you interested in these?
They can also be seen here:

MikeT & kxmotox247, please let me know price. Pickupman, what year/application did Chevy offer these short aluminum valve covers on?

Thanks.

The cost for them brand new with the optional breathers was $281.
I think he'd probably sell them for $235 plus shipping. They've never been used or even placed on a motor.
Let me know if you're interested.

**PICKMUP** · 09-10-2003, 03:19 PM

All I know is late models & crate motors. You can also get them new from the GM dealers.
They are done in all black. This is what they look like it you belt sand the tops...kind of billet look.
Note the o-ring seals instead of gaskets.

kxmotox247 · 09-10-2003, 03:40 PM

Do the o'rings seal any better than regular gaskets?
I have a set of valve cover gaskets for a sbc that have the metal shim in the middle and have been waiting to try them out.
I didn't know they have o'rings now.
