I am looking for a nice set of finned aluminum valve covers for my new 427. The heads will have roller rockers so the valve covers must work with these. I'm not really interested in any painted or polished covers. My first choise would be the Mickey Thompson covers but will consider any others. Please email me at
[email protected].
Thanks, James

James... I know these are not for you since you have a BB in your car, but this guy glass beaded the M/T covers. Use his item as a reference. I bet if you lower the preasure in the media blaster, and then polish the covers out with some aluminum polish they will come out near mint!

Thanks for the Ebay links. I have been watching Ebay for these valve covers. I have a set that I bought a couple weeks ago. When I got them I saw that they had been painted silver. I didn't know this when I agreed to buy them. I may try the bead or media blast route if I can't find any other ones soon.
