    I seem to remember seeing some that were intended to mimic a flathead?

    It's an unfortunate fact that some men suffer with a lack of potency under their hood, thus the rise of the engine strap-on. Be kind to them, they're a bit sensitive about their inadequacies.

    Fake valve covers, why are you so ashamed of the engine you have in your car, that you want people to think it is something else?.

  15. Seems the world has gone crazy, nowadays even engines are identifying as something they're not!

    I had ford Tent Roof FE valve covers on my 65 Fastback for years. Only 2 Ford Guys ever noticed and asked about the Engine. Goes to show how many people have no Idea of what they are looking at.

  19. Fake! Phony! Isn't that what hot rods are all about? Isn't that what a BIG engine in a small body is all about? Sorry, that is a sleeper, not a phony. LOL.
    Enjoying this thread. Different strokes for different folks.

    Now, any one have a cast aluminum cover for a 248 Buick? Want to make it Special!

    I never could understand the reasoning behind this if you have a small block Chevy or heaven forbid a LS why stick olds or maybe YBLOCK covers on I have a lot of time and money in my olds 303 and my yblocks just to have some jack hole try and make there chevy look like them it ruins there engine in my opinion.

    Maybe the owner is hoping one day to have the real deal rather than a fake?

    I've got a set of those, nice chevy script covers underneath with a couple studs welded on for the Olds hold downs, they were donated by a friend.
