Default Valve covers

Any one know where I can get a set of nice aluminum valve covers for my 428? (Under $350)
Thanks

I'm prejudiced but I like my finned aluminum Offenhausers. I got them from PAW. I don't recall what I paid but $350 would probably do it.

Branda Performance, Inc. has all the period correct aluminum reproductions for both Cobras and Mustangs. They are all under $350.

Try Barry R at Survival too! He carries the full line of Blue Thunder covers. I bought a set of aluminum pentroofs from him for under $200. He also sells a comp version of the pentroof with breathers for a little more. BT also has the 427,428 style finned covers also. A very nice product!

I like the look! Did you polish yours or leave them shot blasted? What did you do for breathers? Does your engine have roller rockers and the rocker shaft end supports? If so, did the covers clear them OK?

The breathers did not come with the Offenhauser covers. Those are Billet Specialties breathers.
