The tubes are not as tall as original and do not have the gusseting reinforcement as I think the originals had, but I think they look good and do a good job. I did weld 3//8" nipples onto the rear tubes, to which I use a PCV valve Tee'd into both. I discovered that the pipe plugs on my Weber manifold were not for water temp sending units, but were a good 12" vacuum source. My 2¢ worth.
Hey Karlos, I found the valve covers at Speedway. Great idea. From what I've seen in my research, not all covers had the gussets and not all were tall. Here's a picture of the engine of CSX2137, a 1963 Cobra Le Mans.
