Can you tell me who made this Valve covers? Looks very cool.

Sorry no when they were up on eBay they were listed as v6 valve covers that would fit our cars with no other information. The only thing I asked is if they would fit roller rockers which I was told they would but they don't. I figured I would have them powder coated and sell them but I decided to keep them. They're off the car right now so I'll check for any kind of markings but I don't remember anything like that.
 
Mine

Stockers, polished fins, then engine turned on a drill press. Remainder painted charcoal. I wanted something that could've been stock, but wasn't.

Thanks Coach- your opinion means alot to me, you've got some nice stuff! I'm not even gonna tell you how many guys turned down the job, or how many friggin hours I have in each cover- BUT..it was worth it. I am happy with the results!:cool: Thanks again for the compliments!
 
Ok...I see a lot of popularity in the different valve covers over the years, so lets keep this going so guys have options.
Here are a few pics I have gathered up over the years.

These are my stock covers I modified and powdercoated. Very easy to do.
They have been sold.

These are the polished ones we sell and run on our GN. Angled breather tubes are part of the valve cover. Pricey but nice!
 
This my engine that's almost ready to go back into its awaiting car. Just have buff the letters w/ a orbital

I guess I will throw my new set in the mix.... Purposely made for the Auto-X to keep the oil from spewing out under high speed turns. Before under a hard left hand turn at high speeds oil would literally pour out of the little breather in the front of the passenger valve cover and so much it would run down my a-arms! Stand tubes were placed between the rocker arms to eliminate oil sling to the breather.

Function or beauty....

Keep them coming. This is probably the most popular engine mod in Hot Rodding. The more ideas we post...the cooler all our engines will look.
 
The last two pair of sheetmetal valve covers I built. I ended up selling both and the next set I'm keeping.
