Finned v/c's for 302

Hello guys,
is there a company that makes finned valve covers for a Ford 302? I know Edelbrock does, but they're expensive, and if I'm gonna be paying that kinda money for them I dont want their goofy logo in the middle of 'em.


Thanks


Mike

 

Try Mooneyes....and swap meets...

 

you can get finned "cobra" valve covers from a lot of different mustang places. There's occationally old finned CalCustom style covers on Ebay, but get ready to pay good money for them.

 

76ltd bought his from Speedway. They are niiiiice.

the best sbf v/c are cal-custom...deep fins all the way across and no logos or nothing

 

Allright, thanks guys. I checked out Speedway and they have some pretty nice ones. Not exactly cal-custom style like I was looking for but maybe it'll do.

Are you thinking of the Chevy Cal Customs? Fords won't look like that because of the shape of the heads. I have a squared off set of Keystones from the 60s and it's hard to tell right away it is a sbf, but good luck finding a pair...

 

Try ebay I got some old cal custom ones off there for 45 bucks.

Yeah, I kinda wanted the Cal Custom look off the SBC's and BBC's on a Ford, as close as possible at least. I can always run an SBC in my T but I kinda like to stick to "put a Ford in your Ford".

I'll keep checking on e-bay and I didnt check out Moon yet.

Cal Customs on my 302...

 

Offy makes some as well...but they're expensive.

 

Wow, they look nice....I guess you got 'em of e-bay?

I'll look into Offy, I dont wanna spend too much money though, I'm on a super tight budget ($2.5k for the whole rod)

I found these that mooneyes offers

but the price tag is pretty heft....maybe if I have money left over at the end If I were to get them I'd feel so bad painting them though, since they are all nice and polished.

By the way, has anyone tried the carb adapter that bolts onto a stock 4-barrel intake and holds 2 Stromberg 97's or two 94's? Seems like a neat setup for $99.




Mike

 

Yay...found these on e-bay, I wouldnt feel bad painting them

We'll see, maybe I'll bid.

I saw too many finned covers, so I got some mustang aluminum valve covers and am mounting Packard body script on them and then powdercoating them, ya gotta be different!!!!!!!!!!

 

I have the Offy's and they are sweet! Here is a pic- also those art deco-ish Mustang 5.0 covers can be had cheap and look really good in a fat fender ford even more so if you have a set of art deco dash knobs to pull it together.

 

Seems like I find early Cal Customs at every swap meet we go to. I bought the ones in the pic at Bowling Green (Hot Rod reunion)...a little pricey at $110.00, but they are ceramic coated and in perfect condition. I have several other sets that cost me between 65-85 $$. i like the big fins, some people like the shorter fin with the narrow spacing.

 

I bought a set ( Cal Custom ) off E Bay painted semi-gloss black. I then sanded the top edge of the ribs to bring back the aluminum. They look great.....Kidd
