Wondering if anyone knows who makes these valve covers?
-
Looks like my M&A valve covers.......e xcept mine are black......the y have a flat bottom sealing surface (no indent / shouldered) area like the stockers do. I had to RTV the valve cover gaskets to the valve covers.
They are old school :powersix: , but I like em! :cool;
These are not ATR Valve covers as the file indicates, they are M&A's

Thanks! Do you know if anyone still sells them?

They're no longer in business as I understand it. You'll have to post in the wanted sections of all the boards & hope someone has a set their willing to part with.
Think that TA Performance may have bought them out many years ago, but not 100% sure.
TA have some similar Valve covers though.
Even ATR had some that looked very close to the M&A's.
You'll have to hunt around for some used ones no matter what .
Good Luck.

So we should take yours and do some sand casting and a bit of machining...
until someone rats us out for logo infringement LOL

AJ- any index of any sort?

Pretty sure that style of head got shut down due to the logos.
Odd you should mention doing that though... I've been working with a foundry and thinking about casting some pretty trick valve covers (and some not so trick units that would actually be cheap to cast and machine)
