FL WTB SBC valve covers original 1968 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Chevy072 · 05-30-2012, 12:19 PM

I need a set of valve covers to replace the ones on a 1968 327. The P.O welded the pcv valve in so i need to replace them. Not looking to spend a fortune. Also have parts i could trade. Let me know what you have and what you may be looking for. Thanks

My 68 327 came with holes for the pcv but no oil fill location.

Thats ok. I have the correct intake with the oil fill tube in it.

my covers are probably the same as yours. there is a hole on right rear and left front on the covers correct?

shawno72 · 05-30-2012, 02:07 PM

Thats why I removed my covers to put the script valve covers on. The ones I pulled off do not have the script.

What do you have for trade?

Just trying to help and correct me if I'm wrong but I believe you are looking for a set of these. Don't mind the scuff in the paint, I had to smooth out a very small dent.

The other one is for a breather if you don't have the fill tube. The heads on my 327 are powerpack 283 heads with the off set bolts for older valve covers without holes in them. my motor currently has a pcv valve going to air cleaner spacer and another to the carb. you don't have to use either as long as you have the breather on the fill tube if equipped.

**michael bustamante** · 06-04-2012, 12:45 PM

Oh ok my 283 has power pack heads too and no holes in the script. v covers at all. I do have the v shaped 327 valve covers too if youre interested
