Thread: Big Block valve covers

Tweet

Anyone know where I can get the Orange valve covers that says 496 Stroker on them used or new. I know they don't make them any more but I would think someone should have a set.

Camaro Parts | VC7010 | BIG BLOCK CHEVY ALUMINUM VALVE COVERS ORANGE 496 STROKER | Classic Industries

Classic Industries does not have them

Can't help you with the valve covers (did a National CraigsList search, no joy), but I'm really very curious how you solved your plug fouling problem that you were chasing back in October?
496 fouling plugs

try RPC i never liked the CID size on the valve covers

I didn't, well at least am not sure. Got her ready for a test drive then the snow came so I got bored and pulled the front end off, engine everything. Put Hotchkis A arms on and ground the frame down to the metal to under coat it properly. Cant wait for spring and take her for a run.

If you are looking for stock style & stock heighth, Transdapt at one time used to have orange powder coated... But ... they did NOT have the drippers in them. They Did have the power brake indentation available.
Been many years. Maybe they have what you are looking for..?..

year one or the other guys have a repop taller tin valve stock cover it matter who roller rockers you have for fit ment on tin valve covers . i used many brands over the years under tin cover to get them to fit the dripers many time need to be cut off and a thick Mr Gasket will need to be used to get stock valve covers to clear as for the stock valve cover s with big cut out for the power boster only the vett used that cover as the stock covers with no indent fit just about any stock gm car. if you have a dealer of RPC were your at they have the most valve covers in one book i ever seen so this is were i look first

Bob, I don't know how you can go through the winter not knowing if you found your ignition/fuel problem or not. I think I would be looking for a good tuner shop that has a chassis dyno, trailer the Camaro over there and buy an hour or two of their dyno time to sort it out and figure out if it's right, but that's just me. Seems to me having it in a controlled (warm!) environment where you can warm it up and run it through the rpm range while watching all of the variables (A/F, timing, exhaust O2, temps) on a data logger would be of value. I guess you're a much more patient guy than I am. Just hope you don't get so frustrated with it that you let someone haul it away for pennies on the dollar....
