Help me pick new valve covers

[O'Rattlecan]

My oil cap broke off in my valve cover and I decided I'd rather just get new valve covers and get a new oil fill cap instead of doing all that work and putting the old junk back on.

Help me shop for some valve covers! I'm not sure what I want, so pummel me with ideas! Stuff that says 'ford' is cool. Stuff that says 351w is cooler! I like chrome, bushed metal... anything really. Just nothing drab if I'm going to all the trouble to take the top end of the motor off.

It's the 1994 351w, so I need to think about the smog hookup on the passenger side as well.

That one that Conner post is pretty much exactly what I envisioned in my head. I liked the ribbed ones like that

They are all $135 a pair everywhere on the net. I guess thats not too much...

 

[O'Rattlecan]

I'll stew on it a while.

Someone talk me OUT of a $50 pair. Tell me why I shouldn't get a $50 pair so I don't feel bad.

They are not shiny (or clean) but they are old school cool. 77 F250 Muscle Farm Truck. Just needs paint and a little body work (and a 429)

Yeah, I am a picture whore, so sue me.

Because if you shell out the $$$ now then you will never need another pair and you will always be happy that you got the ones you wanted instead of buying cheapies and buying the ones you like at another time...

Those are a steal.

I'll stare at them for a while before I decide. I have a little time before I need to change my oil.

You can change the oil without removing valvecovers.

What?!?!?!? This is news to me!

Those M/Ts look like my Hollys. Probably made by the same company.

 

[O'Rattlecan]

How many dollars?
