BUICK Straight 8 Speed Equipment Wanted

Hey Gang -
I am building a T roadster using a 1948 Buick Straight Eight engine.
Does anyone have or make a alum. valve cover for such an engine?

Thanks - Steve Grimes - Columbus, Ohio

try putting this in the wanted section of the classifieds...

 

No, no such thing (at least that I was able to find)

I'm building the same engine from a '47 buick to go into my hotrod. Just about ready to put most of it in paint and start assembly.

You using the Buick 248 or 320 inch version? The 320 is a few inches longer, so if you do get a lead on a rocker arm cover, make sure it's for the right motor.
