Rob,

The valve covers are from B&B. They are blanks. You drill your own bolt holes and cap holes where you want them. The inserts for the oil caps have to be weded as well.

They look good ,nice and polished :D

Dave must be a dealer for B&B Performance . I use to be. I bought some stuff from them before they Merged with Canton. Dave has been doing this for a long time see if he remembers when they use to make them with B&B casted in them. I guess like everybody else thats selling them now are importing them :( .These are on my Chevelle :D

The engines will be dyno'd in a few days. I am buzzing up to Grand Rapids and will take some pics.

Dave had the new aluminum valve covers, timing covers, etc, etc and intakes powder coated clear. He picked those up today. Working on getting all 4 carbs put back together.

Rob, I will also get some pics of Dave ride. Were not talking one of these wannabe diamaler chrysler Hemi's, were talking a heavy metal late 60's wedge, the real McCoy. OneBAMachine!!!!! :cool:

If we didn't mention this before, we are on a timetable to get this puppies back together for the FPC Hawks Cay run in January.

I see Dave saved me the time to take a photo of his ride.

I haven't seen the covers in person yet.

I cleared the ASD's on the cat over metalic silver and they have not yellowed.
You can also see one of Dave's premium weld jobs. We recoated the drive support.
