nailhead and weiand valve covers

Isn't that an old Y-block Ford, 312 ci or so?

 

yeah, I agree...Y block

 

Y block does not have horizontal mounted valve covers, they mount at an angle like all the other V8's.

 

Yeah but it looks to me that the black covers are on top of some blue covers.

 

It's a Y-block.....the oil filter is on the driver's side (nailheads were on the p***enger). That plus the whole top-end definitely isn't Buick.

ahhh.. the new faux nailhead valve covers... first there was the fake hemi, then the olds.. and now the nailhead..

 

Texas******** you fooled me. Didn't see the blue covers under the Buicks. Y block it is.

 

Maybe them backward valve covers were made by NW Speed?...OLDBEET

 

Ahh, you all have missed the only logical answer to all this... I got 3 words for ya... Bizarro World. His garage is in the center of it! There is no other explaination! Case solved.

 

I went to take pics this morning but the battery was dead. I will take pics on Thursday and email them to zman and he will post them.

 

On Dirty31's thread where he is asking for Offy carb spacers Lost Angel has posted a pic of his nailhead with Weiand valve covers and the letters are right way up! Maybe the Mexican patternmaker didn't realise that there was a right and a wrong way for the lettering?

I bought a set of repo Weiand plug covers off eBay recently. Sure hope the letters are right way up cos I won't be able to do much when they get over here.

swifty

 

Ya, my weiand plug covers are correct also. Thanks for the heads up about Lost Angel's pics.

 

If you need any other pics, let me know.-MIKE

 

HAHAHA, I didn't mean to hijack the thread, but...I got you guys pretty good!

It's my 292 Y-Block with my buddies nailhead valve covers just sitting on the Ford covers. I thought it would be a funny picture...hahaha, sorry I just had to do it.

 

You ****.....but in a nice way.

 

maybe the valve covers are for a different motor? i think ford y blocks had the 2 bolts like that also?? early olds too??? also, i think early year 1949 cadillac motors had 2 bolt covers also.

only reason i ask is because i got my "cadillac" ufab intake it didnt fit until i changed the bolt holes, and i found out it was actually olds. maybe just maybe those werent for a nailhead at all.

 

New development in who this buickboneyard guy is. A fellow hamber just pm'ed me that buickboneyard is Marty from eelco.. I wish I'd of known that before I purchased them.

 

Recently I saw a complete set of Weiand dress up on a 401 with six deuces. Valley cover included, it was REALLY sharp! Go ahead and run the valve covers! They're still Weiands! I wish I had a set for my 401!

.............still searchin' for that rustrod of my dreams.

 

I was rite, NW Speed strikes again!..........OLDBEET

 

I should have listened to my elders.

 

I have a set of Weiand v/c s in the garage. I'll try to remember to look at them and compare them to the pic. I think the pic looks right-the 'short' side goes towards the intake.

 

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!

 

that guys name is marty he runs eelco and he is a peice of you know what, he burns everyone that will let him, he got me for 500.00, and has burned a bunch of others,
like pat M.(wilcap). you can get a hold of him through eelco in porkland oregon.
hope that helps.
