    Not worth it in my opinion. I have a set you can have for shipping if you want.

    cjpony parts has been around for a pretty long time, selling, mostly Mustang parts. I guess they are expanding into Y Block parts. I don't think they make their parts - these are probably made by a third party

    With the price of paint today, cost is not that bad. Add to the fact they are made of new steel and not all bent up for years of abuse. ***uming fit is very good.. OK if you like blue.

    Ad says they have baffle/breather holes. Based on the pic and what oem's had, they don't have them.

    Truth be told, I already have a pair on the engine. They were painted grey when I had the engine rebuilt in 2008. While hunting for information on the proper factory color for these, this popped up. I've recently learned that most valve covers left the factory in 1955 painted gloss black.

    Types of things you should check to flange to make sure the stamping is flat.

    No experience with those valve covers but good experience with the company for other items.

    If you want the stock look up thru 57 they were black. A local powder coater could do them.
    The new Blue Thunder finned ones are PCV ready which is pretty cool if you don’t want to hide the system and remove your valley cover if it doesn’t have the rear fitting.
