396 tall factory valve covers for FAST class
Does anyone know where I can get a set of repo chrome valve covers for my 396 that will clear a roller rocker. I think the stock ones are 2 1/2 tall and I need about a 3 inch tall cover.
Thanks

Year One has them, which I believe they get from Noah...

Thanks for the info. I have a 69 Nova with a l89 appearing motor. Should get it done for this year. Low Budget car that will probable run in the mid to high 12's.

Re: 396 tall factory valve covers for FAST class
I had a pair that I bought from Noah on e-bay a few years ago that I put on a 540 with Scorpion aluminum roller rockers. Great quality parts at a fair price. The covers are angled so the side close to the intake is taller than the side next to the exhaust. I was going to add a picture but I can not figure it out yet.

Is it fair to say that these will work with roller rockers but not if you are using a stud girdle? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

That sounds like a very conservative goal! You should be able to cover that pretty easy. Good luck, and I hope to see ya out there this year... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/  [/img]
