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

[ChuckN]

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.

I have a set of these I was running on the turbo 305. Got them discounted from the local speed shop. You can still buy them from Summit, Mickey Thompson:

Go cast or billet aluminum. No stamped stuff. I like my Holley muscle series, the finish has lasted really well. 5 years I think now.

Yeah, I’m totally done with the stamped covers- some of them look good but they’re too much of a PITA.

Thank you all for the suggestions

It's a Big Block example but they make super kool Small Block covers also, Ansen, love this company they custom made mine at no upcharge, even replaced one at no charge when I over torqued it and cracked it...

those are similar to the later Corvette C3 valve covers, the LT1 style like I showed, but painted black with the tops of the fins cleaned off.
