Hot Rods POLL: Favorite SBC Valve Covers

These aren't new.
Not mine.

 

Very heavy Keystone's

 

Very RARE small block Contilet ( or are they Chevrocon's )

 

I wonder Y someone would put these on a SBC

 

Quit yer bitchin Denny. lol

 

And not Chev.
Continental.

 

Sheesh, you don't miss a thing do ya!
I did that on purpose just to see if you were awake.

 

Shit I forgot only lazy people (like) posts. Sorry.

 

They aren't Lincoln, They are Continental.

 

True. Brain fart.

 

Yeh, that rant was spawned after opening another alert notice to find about 33 "likes" in a row from one person, it just seems like that is their only way of contributing to the HAMB.

 

Well my current valve train requires something sort of big and boxy. So as far as sexy valve covers are concerned I am pretty much screwed.

For stock covers I like the 327 turbo fire covers real well. They used to be throw away valve covers believe it or not. Not so much today. If they were still cheap I would find two sets and make some covers for my current SBC, but alas they are not longer throw aways.

For aftermarket covers I have always been a sucker for the finned cal customs.

 

Someone had milled the name off in the recess, so I just got some re-pop VC stickers for the recess.
Didn't cost any more for the 365hp stickers, so I probably upped the HP for no money!!!LOL

 

Denny you are OFF my like list.

 

Yup, I’m an ass

 

I'm kinda partial to those myself...

 

Personal favorite of mine, though I never owned a set. Did the ''V'' top drip oil on the rocker balls?

 

I'd imagine they do, just not sure it was by design. I could be wrong though.

 

Mine

 

Cadillac..

Sent from my XT1710-02 using The H.A.M.B. mobile app

 

Been running these spacers over stud girdels with good results on the drag car.
The middle picture has 327 covers over stud girdles on Vortec heads using adapter spacers.
I am also a sucker, but for the 327 covers, back in the day if you were running a 327 you were doing well,
was running a 283 then lol, maybe thats why I like them so much

 

My favorite is my Cal Custom covers.

 

Finned Corvette.

 

Don’t remember who posted these, but I really like the way these look. Might have to copy them!

 

Hey, you been in my garage !



I have lots of finned, couple sets of scripts but I'm a sucker for M/T for some reason.
These were a mystery set owned by a HAMBer that I really liked too.

 

Bill Desatoff (sp?) built a great Deuce Tudor back in the early ‘70’s, those are just Mickey Thompson covers with the M/T milled off and tall Moon breathers added. And yes, they look great.

 

I wouldn't call these my favorite but they would make great wallhangers.

 

Yeah, your out of beer....btw
