Finned 401 valve covers?

I am curious who makes aluminum finned valve covers to fit a 401 ?

I would prefer just fins with no badging. I also like the ones with Buick cast in the side.

Here's a pic of my 28 Ford with the 401. Mostly done except for glass , paint, and headers. Info appreciated

 

offenhauser and mooneyes make a valve cover the ones with Buick stamped on the side are getting very expensive. watch out for the mexico repops they are usually on ebay for about $175. or so. The ones in your pictures are just stock and are about a dime a dozen. I like my offys OK I also have a set of stock raised letter but one is in real bad shape hoping I can find just 1 some where.

 

Hey guy those are a couple of wicked looking rods you got going there :TU: :TU: :TU: :TU:

 

I got these early 60's tall "no-namers" .......mint condition.I'll bet you will be the only nailhead with a set of these.....



$350.00 plus shipping.

 

I have a set of Sanderson block hugger headers for a street rod if you would be interested. Asking $225 OBO call me 707-725-3082

Hi, thanks for the replies. Topcat, thats a bit more than I wanted to spend. Greg, I am going to build a set of zoomies for it but I like your price. I didn't know anyone was building block huggers for a nailhead .

I like these and the price is ok but how would I get the pcv valve to stay in ? Just use a grommet and then silicone where the tabs would be?

I will be selling a set of the original "BUICK" aluminum valve covers for the nailheads, that have gone thru a very extensive polishing and look fantastic. Perfect condition. $500

 

Topcat, those 'no-namers' look just like the Edelbrock's I run on my 55. They are getting harder to find as well.
As far as the Mooneyes set goes, I would make sure the Mr. Gasket breather is not a 'push-in' style, and that it does in fact 'twist in'.

 

Looks like Speedway sells the offy's for a good price

Looks like the have a knockout for a PCV which will be easier than the mooneyes ones. I don't like building cars with too much badging. Being its an old school look the offy's might be ok considering they were probably the thing guys would have used in the 50's and 60's correct?

 

Hi TOPCAT,
I saw you have a old pair of old no name valve covers nailhead. I'm interested in these valve covers. Can you send me some more pics of these I will gladly pay 350.00 plus shipping if they are in good condition. email me pics @ ericjcan2@yahoo or you can call me 408-605-0222

Thanks
Eric

 

thanks

 

I too have a set of these old Edlebrock finned "no name" valve covers on my engine. I drilled a hole in the valley cover, installed a grommet, and run my PCV valve through there. The new valve covers and valley covers that are being made by Don Kring employ this method. He will also fit an oil filler tube into the valley cover if you request it. Has anyone else seen his new intake manifold for mounting four Weber 48 IDA carbs on a nailhead? If you haven't seen them yet, here's a link to his website.
