The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area The HiPo Shop aluminum valve cover for inline 6???

anyone know about a good place to find aluminum dress up parts for an inline 6??? it's a 250 from an '84 van going into my '64, btw..

One from a Mercruiser 165 will polish out nice or Clifford Perfomance makes one. I think there are other vendors as well. Some where I saw an adapter plate that would allow you to use those designed for a 235 like Wayne or Offenhauser covers as well, though I've forgotten where.

Check out www.t6racing.org

I thought he had the valve cover adapter, but I didn't see it. He maybe out of stock on al valve covers. He does have many more alum. parts. Give hime a call Larry Page.

thanks, joe... i been looking all over, but i've had a real hard time comin' up with anything beyond replacement repair parts (stock.. eeeewww!!! lol...)

Does the '84 have a seperate intake, or is it part of the head?
Not sure the older covers fit the intregal head.

Try ( www.Inliners.org ) and check there links and swapmeet area.

Mercruizer is about the only real stock replacement aluminum cover out there. I have see some aftermarket race type covers, but they are real expensive. Checl your local boat repair shop, you may get luckly.

my Ebay Mercruizer cover was 10bucks http://s67.photobucket.com/albums/h298/1951otter/?action=view&current=4495365-R1-004-0A_1.jpg

Not as nice as aluminum but PAW still sells a chrome Chevy six valve cover for $25.

I think it has PCV hole in the rear, oil fill in the front and hole for tube to air cleaner on side near front.

Do a search for wixski in brookings south dakota.They sell a no name cover that looks pretty cool.Burl.

The Wixski cast aluminum valve covers are made for the 216 (and 235/261’s with long rocker studs) and are thick enough to engrave just about anything you want on them.

Tom Langdon sells an adapter to put the 216 type valve cover on a 250, 292, etc:

Jim,
That was $10.00 very well spent as yours looks great.

i bet you will be happier if you save your nickels for a used alum than buy a cheap hrome repop.

I have one of the Cheap-o chrome ones, I never could get it to seal up. I went back with a stock one painted black. No leaks now!

Joe

offenhauser make's one

Check out offenhouser, they have a nice one.
langdons sells nice matching side covers. Probably a valve cover too.

227 smackers for one valve cover. It better be platinum!

I just received a Mercruiser 165 rocker cover, and it's way short for the inline six. Looks more like a v8 cover. Not happy

I'll bet that one is for the 4 cylinder MercCruiser. I had one.

yeh, it's a shorty. I found a couple of the 6 cyl ones, but they are three times the money as the one I bought. I'll have to get back to work for a while before I chase one of them down.
