THE HARDEST FACTORY ALUMINUM VALVE COVER TO EVER FIND.
LINCOLN MERCURY M335 1957 & 1958 FACTORY ALUMINUM VALVE COVERS. LINCOLN MADE THESE AS AN OVER THE COUNTER DELAER INSTALLED OPTION IN 1957 & 1958 ON THE 368 V-8s WITH THE RACING PACKAGE.
THE PACKAGE ALSO INCLUDED A 2X4 DUAL QUAD FACTORY ALUMINUM INTAKE MANIFOLD WITH LINKAGE AND AIR CLEANER, A LONG DURATION CAMSHAFT WITH LIFTER AND SPRINGS.
THE INSTALLED PACKAGE INCREASED THE HORSEPOWER FROM THE STANDARD 290HP TO 335HP OR M335.

THIS PARTICULAR COVER IS ACTUALLY A RECAST FROM AN ORIGINAL. JUST REMEMBERED I HAD IT LYING AROUND FROM A SMALL BATCH WE CAST TO REPLACE A BROKEN ONE FOR A CUSTOMER.

 

While we are on the Mercury topic

 

That second cover is great looking, what was the original application for it?

 

I think these were 59 - 62 Mercury Maurder covers

What?? Any idea when they were produced? Are they commonly available? These are very cool!!

 

I'm look'n for a single finned Cal Custom valve cover - don't even car what it's for Anyone have a damaged set? Just for my collection. Thanx

 

I had a set of M/T's on my Deuce pickup. My initials are M L so I cut the "T" 's off, made them into "L's" and soldered them back on with aluminum solder. When I sold the truck I told the guy I'd replace them with new ones and he wouldn't go for it! Thought they were really rare. He didn't have an M or an L in his whole name. So if anyone in Michigan comes up with a set of M/L valve covers I'd be interested in them.

 

Found this on the web . . .

I'd never seen another pair.

 

I'm sure somebody already have these !

 

I worked for International Harvester as a truck salesman for 32 years and I have NEVER seen or even heard of any cast aluminum valve covers for the 266 - 304 - 345 - 392 series of V-8 engines. These must me a one-off somebody made. Really nice and really rare, and really cool however!

 

Here are my Cal Customs on my coupe that I'm building

Changed pipes better shot of valve covers

 

Being that they look mostly identical to the stamped steel ones, It would be fairly simple to make a sand-cast mold for aluminum using a steel cover as a blank and pour one or a few. Still, They are cool as hell.

 

I bought these Keystone valve covers back in the 70's and had them replated in the 90's.

 

i never knew keystone made valve covers those are pretty neat though

 

A few sets of cool covers....
