let me see your valve covers and could you please tell me where you got em and how much they are. thanks

 

ive been looking around for them too. Not a whole lot of places have them....especially the ones with multiple holes in them for your oil filler cap and PCV valve(breather). I dont have any pics....but try summitracing.com or jegs. They had some...dont know if youll like them or not. Hope this helps.

 

I still need to put mine on but this is what they look like.



CENTERBOLT TALL VALVE COVERS BALL MILLED BALL MILLED polished ALUMINUM.

You can get them with 1/1, 1/2, 2/2 (# of holes on each cover) and they run $120.

 

Im ordering these in the spring:



I believe they are in the *brand* new summit catalog.. proform offers them in chrome also.. there are nice center bolt covers, it just takes a lot of research to find them!

 

is that the black crinkle?

they aren't bad, personally i like the smooth appearance ones, although if you have stock heads you would need a adapter.

do a search as i asked this question a little while back.

 

Its not really a crinkle finish, more like a nice smooth black, heres a few pics i paid like $125, and why would you need adapters with stock heads ??

 

smooth meaning no center bolts.....

 

i prefer those also, but with vortec heads, im glad i could find them in a center bolt pattern..

 

i agree, if i had those heads that's what i would have went with as well.

 

you can use perimeter style if you buy the adapters....i have found a really cool set of polished center bolt valve covers in classic indutries the have "camaro" in the 3rd gen script on top the cover...they are cool

 

These are going to be in mine I already have them Paid $50 for them brand new. they cost $105.69 Via summit

 

Spectre (i hate that company...dunno why) makes a set of stock style chrome ones that retail for like $35 from autozone

 

I have the spectre covers on my car. The centerbolt gaskets wouldn't fit in them. I used perimeter gaskets and silicone sealer. So far, so good. No leaks. They have a breather hole in each and an oil fill in driver's cover. They are a good buy for the money. I am not running a pcv valve, but it looks like grommet from stock cover would fit in hole. You need to buy their oil fill cap though. PEP Boys, $34.99. Sorry no pic.

 

Barnett Performance here in Atlanta has a good selection of centerbolt covers...polished, ball milled, flamed, short or tall, with differing holes to make them fit just about anything.

 

I think the reason why the gaskets won't fit as well as the breather is because they are covers for your stock valve covers. I could be wrong but there is a company that makes those and i'm pretty sure it's spectra

 

Not these. They are definately replacements.

 

all i see is chevy valve covers, has anyone ever seen 'pontiac' covers or 'firebird' or 'trans am' covers?

 

Here's mine.. Edelbrock Elite's

 

I've got the fabricated aluminum ones. Pics are in the sig.

 

check the gm parts catalog for the pontiac versions.........just like the chevrolet. high dollar like the chevy's though. roughly 250 i believe.

 

Here mine, powdercoated blue

 

Z28*****- Did you have any problems with your valve covers hitting your alternator? I am looking for some aftermarket covers for my LT1. Do they come without the Chevrolet written on them? ROXIE-I could'nt find them in the Summit catalog. I

 

We ordered these via Summit they are not center bolt they are outer bolt valve covers. If you use these you need an adapter to change them & have someone make a new bracket, since you will need to move your Alternator up.

'One-of-a-kind' cast/polishied aluminium. No name brand but, I think JCwhitney has picked them up. I got mine from JEGs, they were no longer sold the next month...

 

$50 from summit

 

I got these from summit racing. I think they will look good on my tpi engine.

 

I have to admit , those Edelbrock Elites are making my mouth water ....especially next to those polished runners....AWESOME!

 

Thanks!

 

CENTERBOLT TALL VALVE COVERS BALL MILLED BALL MILLED polished ALUMINUM.

I have the same ones, mine on ebay for $53, polished alum,nice covers with bolts and baffles, they only have 2 holes so I have to fill oil by pulling pvc, but no big deal. No clearance problems once I trimmed the alt. bolt by about 1/4". Nice Covers, great price espically when I have seen the same ones for over $130 elsewhere.

 

im gonna have my stock ones powdercoated Either "Almost Chrome" or "Mirror Black"

 

Gee I posted that up above I only paid $50 for mine lol
