    Anyone know if they are still being made. Have something about Baron Racing being the people that built them. Really need some contact info. Any help would be great.

    To the best of my knowledge the only 235/216/261 valve covers still being made are the Offy and Wayne. Your best bet is to keep an eye on ebay and swap meets if you want that rare valve cover. Also get to know the people at ChevyTalk and Inliners.org

    I found the blog of the guy who most likely bought the one off Ebay that Stovebolt mentioned and it is on a 216. Good looking valve cover, I can see why you want one.

    More searching Google for Thickstun rocker cover and New Thickstun rocker cover brings up photos but no definitive link to any.

    Count me interested too. I thought for sure that cover was being reproduced and reproduced WELL.
    Didn't save a link when I did see it. There's a thread here of a guy on the 216 Chevy club here that painted his grey, leaving or polishing the fins, looks very nice.

    Thanks guys, Ya have done and exhausted all the searches. Somewhere there was mention about Baron repoping them. I don't remember where but I am getting old....... Just would be cool to have one to match the intake.

    Hi. Patricks owns the rights to the Waynes. I have been on their list for a valve cover & side cover for my 235 from them for a year now. Not sure when it will actually come to be but eventually I guess they will get Roundtuit & have some cast.
    I really wanted a set of the old Cliffords with the 6=8 logo to match my intake but they sold the rights to someone that seems to have really downgraded the quality of these. Not sure if they are even being made anymore & the last ad I saw on them they had removed the Clifford logo & they just had Chevrolet on them. That sucked.

    Finally got to talk to Baron and they have them coming in any day now or by the end of the week. He said he had a list of people waiting for them but has a few extras. We have one coming is all I know. Thanks for the help the phone # was key.

    What is the cost for the valve cover? I saw the intake on the website (sereneone) looks good, more expensive than the Fenton but I like the look better how does the intake perform?
