That's not bad. For some reason I thought I had seen someone say they were like $320 a while back and I thought that was a little steep for a set of valve covers for me.

Did you see the pics of them on the motor above? They will work with shaft mounts and still store a couple cans of pop

Here's a few pics on the motor. These things are awesome pieces of work!! Looks like we may have to clearance the front passenger side valve cover to clear the rocker arm. It won't take too much.

thats how i did mine for this guy.. it will clear the alternator.. they are cake if you have the right equipment like a press break and now how to tig aluminum.. you get as many bends from the break as you can than tigs the face and back plates. the underside can be tricky though... good luck with your new set up!!!
