With or without valve cover badges?

apachedaddy · 08-30-2009, 08:18 PM

i like without, keep them guessing...

scotts62 · 08-30-2009, 08:34 PM

With, support that badboy

protrash64 · 08-30-2009, 08:36 PM

Wonder if the '454' could be centered to match the Chevy at the rear???? I like it either way, really.

62 short step · 08-30-2009, 08:49 PM

I say with.

however, if you could figure out another logo or emblem to put in it's place, i think that would look cool as well...and like someone else mentioned, that would keep them guessing

I'm in the "with" camp - get you some red Moroso plug wires and looms - cool.

Hahah! "Mighty big valve covers, for a 350," says the onlooker, scratching his head.

ehh they are for the rocker cradles duh! lol

jason65 · 08-31-2009, 08:19 AM

What about painting the 454 to match the truck and leaving them on?

**ChiefRocka** · 08-31-2009, 09:16 AM

I say leave it on, but center it up like PT mentioned.

**Chevy Fleetside** · 08-31-2009, 10:59 AM

They look like this.

MacAttack · 08-31-2009, 11:03 AM

Yeah - with the numbers is better.

No substitute for cubic inches - show it proudly.

Mac.

19GMC63 · 08-31-2009, 01:27 PM

I say without, mainly because the red kinda seems out of place. If you could somehow paint the numbers blue to match the block, that would look pretty sweet.

C10Slim · 08-31-2009, 02:13 PM

I would need to drop it in my truck to give you a proper opinion.

...

I say with

c10addict · 08-31-2009, 03:43 PM

Solved! Just my opnion..

**Chevy Fleetside** · 08-31-2009, 03:48 PM

The tall covers won't fit with the way I am mounting the engine. I do like those though. I was thinking of going with these wires.

**Chevy Fleetside** · 08-31-2009, 03:50 PM

Or These...
