Good stuff here too:

Eelco covers, ignore the bottom cover (BBC). SBF is the top one.....

 

How about Offy's?

 

I have to Powered by Ford ones on my falcon, I didnt want to have any chrome in the engine bay so went with orange and blak of the car, I think it looks cool with all the lines matching

 

anybody else out there ever seen pony embossed covers. they look like most of theother, but instead of cobra or powered by ford they had an embossed running mustang. I bought a set at a swap meet in the late 80 and gave them to a friend for his 67 mustang for his birthday--a few month later after a family fallout his dad sold the car from the driveway and I've not seen another set since. just curious if anyone else has?

 

should have looked at the posts sinc the last time I looked at this thread. lo and behold there there are two posts up.

 

any one know of years or source for smooth; no name; no chrome; painted steel SBF valve covers?

 

i know the ones on my 65 falcon are just plain old smooth stamped steel ! should be able to find a set in a yard on any of fords cheeper cars around this era !

 

my friend - business partner who runs a machine shop whipped me up some adapters to run fe covers on my small block ! if theres enough interest we could probably make some sets up ?heres pics

 

That's pretty sweet.

 

adapters in dirtbag13 posts are a pretty cool idea-hope more made

 

at summitracing.com found SBF Edelbrock Signature Series Black Valve Covers-4603-$49.95. not too bad looking black powder coating with silver Edelbrock script.

 

What is the height on those? Are they still being made or are they old Offy's?

i like those old offys

 

I had a pair of 8mm steel spacers lasercut so I could run the "COBRA" covers on a SBF with roller rockers. Just requires a second pair of gaskets, but other than that no clearance problems. If anyone needs the file, I can send them the .dxf. Just PM me.

 

My Buddy Dropped an oxygen bottle and broke off a piece of the fin on mine anybody wanna sell some of these

 

i have a set for sale,you have a pm

 

I'm interested. let me know.

 

They are about the same as stock. I could not find any listing but Summit had them on display a short time ago. You could also try the Aluminum-man at the local meets / ebay, he's an Offy dealer and had them both new and used.

 

Anybody Else gotta pair??? of the ones pictured in my last post Cal Custom Finned

 

Here is a picture of mine.....says "Cobra powered 32 Ford" ground off the word "by" cut out a 3 and a 2 and epoxied them on, many years ago,

 

Ever see the covers on Poteeet's '32 5w hi-boy? Dave Lane of Fastlane Rod Shop cut the Thunderbird name out of a set old FE thunderbird covers and welded them into a set of SBF stamped covers. You have to look twice, they look stock, and subtle cool.

A friend of mine that has a 56 TBird with a 302 in it painted the metal covers black and put a YBlock Thunderbird decal on them.

 

those are fe valve covers with adapters to bolt them to the small block heads !

 

Now that is a pretty good trick. Looks good. BUT I bet the sheeple miss the mod it looks so normal.

 

Has anybody tried those supertall valve covers on there small block ford really like the look not to sure on the price lol anybody ????

 

My frien Dale has a set on his 302 that mimick a Nailhead. I really like them, cause there not the run of the mill covers. Iceman

 

woodywagon1965r and Ice Man=who makes/sells those supertall valve covers?

 

Ford makes those valve covers, they come standard on the new boss 302 crate motor

scummit, or jigs... ahem summit or jegs has them

I want a pair, and I would like to mill off the script and fins for a smooth set.

 

found the tall ones at summitracing.com shown above, but not what I am after. They offer the finned Offenhauser 4603 for $278 or the Roush ultra 401392 for $1,500 (Ha!)
Will keep looking, but still like the Edelbrock 4603 Signature Series for $50.
