Question I am trying to find a set of chrome valve covers for a 265 cu in chevy. With the offset holes they are hard to find. I have a set of corvette covers, they are fined and black.
Were there any other chevy blocks that used them?
Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Rich
Answer ok as far as i can remember the only heads with the offset holes were the old 265cu.in and maby the early 283s but i'am not shure about that. ok the finned aluminum valve covers from chevy are rare as i do not remember that many and thay might have been put on after do they have the ss or 265 marks on them?
If you need chrome valve covers go to www.j.c.whitney.com as they have more stuff for everything and you could do some web shurching as look up chevy engine parts. or chevy custom engine stuff, etc. you will find them as they are still out there , as they might not be g.m. but you can get the offset covers in chrome ok and i would use rubber gaskets and put some spray gasket stuff on the valve cover side only as this way you can take them off a few times with out replacing them. ok
if you need more info please e-mail me again ok
