What are your favorite/ best looking valve covers for SBC?

[1STLS1]

Pulled this picture from eBay but I have a set of these, NOS in the box(was gonna put em on a car I no longer have).

I have these on my '85 K10

One thing I like about these: they fit with the factory accessories. In Texas you gotta have AC so this is necessary. And since they have that solid flange they seal better than the stamped steel ones.

Yes, but they do not fit with roller rockers, I originally bought them for my other truck with a hot rod motor in it, trying to get the A/C compressor to fit

I don’t know for sure but I’ve been told that the cool kids just run without them.

I put these back on my 350 after painting orange. Then I found this matching air cleaner. I like the look. (I did see the same valve covers for

I always wanted a set of these when they came out.
Then I found them in the junkyard attached to a small block equipped Jaguar.
Now I have a set that just needs a bit of a cleaning...

Haha, get a pic of the Jag?

 

[Catbox]

For some reason, I did not take a photo of the Jag.
I had always wanted one of those as well, just never found a suitable candidate.

It was of that vintage, but not the Draguar.

I have the polished aluminum version of those and I love them. They seal well and look good. My only issue with them is that they have no oil fill and the way the baffles are on them, they do a really good job of keeping oil from coming out of the breather, and also keep oil from going in when trying to fill the engine up. Its just a minor inconvenience, but it IS inconvenient.

Just curious if there’s ones out there that look nice and classy that you think of right away.

I just put those gold Morosos on mine and they leak a little. Thought I’d love them, but “eh”….I think I’m going to put the cast Edelbrocks back on. Not my favorite but they don’t leak, and I’m firmly in the camp of function over form. These days. I would like something that looks nicer though, these are kind of cheesy looking to me with the fake plastic screws (some are missing and we’re like they when I got the truck.

These are the Morosos on now. I’d also like an option with two breathers, these only have one, one one side. Other has none. They do weep oil, but I’ve seen worse, and that’s with a really good set of gaskets.

On Summit, these look nice to me, and my truck is blue.

But I think so far, my favorite is these. They’re understated.

Might go looking for some old Mickey Thompsons. As you can tell, I’m sticking with cast instead of stamped.

If you are running a single valve cover breather and no pcv you are almost guaranteed to have a leak Even with 2 breathers and no pcv your chances for oil leaks increase,and not just at the valve covers.

Those Moroso valve covers are gone. Sold them to a guy who is putting them on a Chevy II tribute race car, their rightful place.
