    Did you try Mooneyes? They seem to have them for everything. You can even get breathers added.

    Tried them already....no luck....have found some finned Cobra covers, but hell they are $500, I can get finned BBCaddy covers but they are $550....trying to get some covers to make work and not have to spend over a $300
     
  4. Probably not going to happen for $300. There are two possibilities for the 460....one, the original '71 429 CJ covers. Unless you get really lucky, they are fairly big $$$ to buy. Not that many out there.

    Second, Blue Thunder makes a "repop" (it's not exact) of that same cover. For a look: http://store.survivalmotorsports.com/bluethundervc429p.html BT sets prices so any authorized BT dealer will be about the same. Barry at Survival is a good guy & worth giving business to, if you go this route. :) He also carries the Cobra covers for $231.00, not sure you want them on a Cadillac, though. :) http://store.survivalmotorsports.co...e-ford-big-block-valve-cover-set-429-460.html

    Then you'd have to buy the adaptors, on top of the $220 covers. I'd guess they're fairly pricey?....

    But, here ya go. :)

    Oops, my mistake, I read your post as 360, not a 460. Sorry.
