Default Valve Covers

Has anyone heard of anyone making aluminum valve covers for a 4.3. Ive looked and cant seem to find any. I figured Summit would at least carry them if they were made, and if they are not made why not. I know alot of 4.3 owners that would love to have them.

And once again i am mistaken. It seems they only fit from 85-93 models, so back to my original question.

edlebrock makes a set of aluminum in the center bolt style you need. They were the only brand I was able to find when I was searching- but when I saw the price I changed my mind. I think they were almost 400 bucks.

You could always paint them with silver paint!

@Lesmyer - Yeah! LOL

Don' think that it will stick for long. Seems to me a very special plastic.

I've been thinking about the same lines for my build but in the end have settled for an aluminium spacer to clear the roller-rockers.
