    i would like a opinion on valve covers. I make this y block valve cover and was wondering what the small block chevy people thought of one for the small. Any feed back is welcome now I know I left myself open there but life will go on. SAM_0226.JPG

    Interesting.
    Is the tooling expensive ?

    Very unique look to it. I like it and the fact it does not have "flats" or provisions for late model PCV or oil fill.

    Nice! Got a photo of them on a car?
     
  14. Kind of a twist on the old finned valve cover (sorry, bad pun there...)

    I think it would be more at home for a custom than a hot rod.

    Different. do you have a shot of them on your car?

  21. Am I the only one who thinks it looks like a Twix bar? Different...yes. Cool...maybe. Put them on my car...probably not, but that doesn't mean someone else can't dig on them.
