Pontiac valve covers for Chevy?

Does anyone know if there are small block Chevy valvecovers with Pontiac script on them that are still being made? Either in aluminum or chrome steel. These would look cool on a 3rd gen Fiebird/Formula/Trans-Am. I've seen them before but I did a search and can't find any.

Re: Pontiac valve covers for Chevy?

Aside from setting up an alert on eBay in case anyone sells a set of the old cast "Pontiac" covers from GM Performance - part number 10093393, you may have to go the custom route. I've never used these folks, but they say pricing for SBCs start at $175.

Re: Pontiac valve covers for Chevy?

I've looked for good options along these lines for a long time. There's virtually nothing out there. Maybe I'm missing them, but I'm not seeing anything on the Butler site that is SBC. And Undercoverinnovations.com clearly says they'll cut any pattern, except licensed logos.

Re: Pontiac valve covers for Chevy?

these covers look like chevy bolt pattern to me, but you're right they don't specifically call out the application.

Re: Pontiac valve covers for Chevy?

I’m not sure. The original poster only stated the covers were for small block Chevy. He didn’t state if it was for TPI, LSX or old school SBC.

you can get the grommits that have a baffle in them. should help as long as you orient the opening toward the bottom toward the exhaust side. maybe use a little silicone to lock them into place.

Re: Pontiac valve covers for Chevy?

Found these recently and remembered this thread. Same company, Ansen, that offers the perimeter bolt valve covers a few posts up. These are the tall style. I personally prefer the short style/stock height, but tall would probably be more practical for most custom builds.

I understand the cost of machining custom parts isn't cheap, but at $275 you really gotta want it.

Old thread, but if anyone is still interested, these appear to be a set that was sold by Nationwise Auto Parts way back in the mid-'70s. That chain filed for bankruptcy and closed its doors on October 15, 1995. Subsequently, Advance Auto Parts bought many of the closed stores, and they are still in business today.
