Technical Factory aluminum valve covers

Ok so I know of Buick nail head script valve covers, Thunderbird valve covers, and Lincoln aluminum valve covers. Did any other manufactures make aluminum script valve covers? If so post them up.

 

I like the "Y" Thunderbirds best my self ,but the Vetts are awesome too.

 

Yea I forgot about the Vetts, how could I?

 

Ford made plenty of them throughout the years , best noted COBRA big block and small block

 

This is just an opinion but, all OHV engine's should have been factory equipped with Offenhauser finned valve covers. Those damned thing's look good on everything!

 

^^^^^

 

I’m thinkin 427 SOHC were mags

 

Even better!

 

70 Boss 302. 69 were chromed steel.

Some of the 429 Torinos and Cyclones were aluminum, too, as were the Fox Mustang 5.0.

All of these were OT, though.

 

Don't forget the cobra jets had 2 different ones, plain finned and 428 cobra jet script

Like these.



Oh, you said aluminum!

 

Uh, those were used on the 1967 Z-28, the very limited production L-79 Chevy II and the new 350 in the Camaro.

 

Was the purpose sound or prestige. I read the Corvette aluminum valve covers were to silence the sound of the solid lifters.

 

Its a shame the Pontiac OHC 6 is too new. The valve cover on them was cool.

 

1957 Mercury M335

 

I have had nothing but bad luck with Y blocks my whole life, but these are damn pretty, a**** the prettiest made in my opinion, and I have a set to boot. Too bad my 312` has no compression and is missing all the accessories and exhaust.

 

I'm a Mopar guy at heart, but Ford, and Mercury really had the nicest cast valve covers.

 

Look at that!
I thought I had the only flip top valve cover oil fill, I put one my highly OT 427 small block.
