Default Help me find these coil covers

Has anyone seen these coil covers before and know who makes them? I seen this engine in a hot rod magazine a few months ago.

There valve covers,pretty sure you would have to relocate the coil packs somewhere else ,but ebay has some really nice aluminum ones for around 169

actually i think he's right, i think those are coil covers. i've seen some similar to those but were obviously fake. those look really close to being vc's. but the bolt pattern isn't right for them to be vc's.

Yeah, just looking at the bolt pattern you can tell they arent valve covers.

Thanks for the link but I dont really care for those, theyre a little flashy and look cheap like theyre made of thin gauge metal. I'd rather have a cast cover. Maybe ill just have to get some edelbrocks and machine off the crap they put on the top.

I checked those out and theyre pretty much exactly what im looking for and cheap too, but it says they eliminate stock mounting brackets and are not for stock vehicles. Not really sure what they mean by that.
