I saw at the NHRA Hot Rod Reunion a while back and picked up these valve covers. I may have paid a little too much but I've never seen them before. I just thought some of you may enjoy seeing some vintage '80s? valvers.
Also, anybody know anything about these or ever seen them before? They're different, and that's why they're now on my Monte Carlo SS.

Re: Anybody ever seen these before?
I go to autoparts swap meets every couple of months. I haven't noticed any of those valve covers before. I do not look much at valve covers but I would think I would notice those as being different from the ordinary. I did find a GM tilted fork bellhousing that is not from any regular f body though. Did not ask about it but I should have. I do not look for bellhousings either.

Early Chevy II belhousings are like this.

Re: Anybody ever seen these before?
Thanks DeanJ,
I hand been kicking myself for not asking about it but that is a likely possibility as it was an early style tranny bolt pattern and different from the T5. Thanks for letting me know. I know what the Chevy 2 is but never worked on one.
