I do not want one that has the bolts coming up though the top of the cover and I do not want one that has a name on the top either unless it says Chevrolet. I am I dreaming or can I find one? | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 2,832 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 2,832 | What are you willing to pay? There are a number of machine shops needing work in these times we're going through so for probably around $200 or so for the size of aluminum billet you'd need and their standard shop time you can get ANY style of valve cover you desire. I got a set of Sullivan Chrysler style hemi covers for my dohc 4.6 Cobra for around $700 with shipping.

I suggest you look first at the www.inliners.org site and start from there. They have vendors who advertise with them for inline specific items.

(6inarow) cast a batch of smooth top ones with the 216 type 2 hole mounting that have enough material on the top to engrave any desired pattern etc. A 4 bolt aluminum one would have to be a one off and the last time I checked the material alone was over $300.00. With a piece of aluminum that big you might as well just make a crossflow head with it.  Spraying cast aluminum looking paint on a tin one is about the only way to keep 4 bolts.
