Does anyone make for 98's
Do any of the aftermarket comanies make a head for perimiter bolt valve covers. I know I would only have to change valvecovers but want to keep the 98 look. I've tried the search but can't find anything.

can't wait till i can afford some 11* ET heads.
BTW why do you like the look of 98 heads? i HATE taking thgose damn valve covers off.

i guess the machine shop route on center bolt pattern heads is out of the question? any center bolt head can be converted to perimeter style with a little, and i mean a little, work. any metal working shop that is good with aluminum should be able to do it fairly easy. call a couple machine shops and/or metal working shops in your area and see what they can do. you'll be suprised with the amount of craftsmanship some of those guys have. just trying to help, though. its your car and your money.
