Love that look!  I may do the same thing with a set of Cal Customs.  Love to see them when you get them put on.  Later, Jim

for a big block?

These were made in the 1970's and needed major cleanup. I'll put them on my 383.

Very Nice. I painted mine the same, but will look into powder coating-never knew they did valve covers

They told me up front that it would take 3-5 months due to work load/demand. Mine took 4.

 :wave:  Heyyyy, I'm honored that you showed them off Monte!!  I hope everything's satisfactory and they're working well for you.  Please share some pics of the engine bay when you get the chance.  You weren't kidding that they needed a lot of work -- those things have been around since the late 70s and I'd guess they'd had quite a few prior owners who didn't love them very much.  LOL
