Title: In search of nice non-chrome "mini pentroof" valve covers....
Post by: blykins on May 03, 2020, 05:40:15 AM
Ultimate goal would be to find a set that's been blasted, no or minimal pitting/rust, etc.  You know how that goes.

Brent: What are you calling "Mini-pentroof" ? I've absolutely got them but what style?
Are you referring to the FT with a pent only in the center 8 or so inches? Or the Werby?

I guess that's the slang term for them. 

65-66 factory steel valve covers, with no writing, 352/390/428 engines.   They were chrome on 390GT engines I believe.

Here is a picture I just took of the other pentroof style VC's
I think you want the ones on the left?

Story on "Werby" VC's, his story he recanted is that when he was young his dad had a FE and the wires covered the Po on Powered by ford so he saw Werby Ford.

I've got 3 sets of those, I'll box up the set of the one pictured and figure out cost to ship. You can send me what you think they are worth plus shipping.
Please message me to further discuss.
Your zip code?

Brent: they were already cleaned inside for my sons 59 T-Bird then I painted them gold but now he will be using a pair of my Chromed Thunder Bird block lettered VC's  or maybe some more obscure finned aluminum.  (so many choices)
So after blasting here are some pictures.  The polished bare steel around the breather openings are where I powered wire wheeled after removing the breather plugs to keep blast media out of inside the baffles.

I had several pair in the free section. I often forget myself to check there.

Are pentroof needed to get enough clearance for t&d rollers where baldies will not? Trying to figure out what I need.

I asked about baldie covers and T&D's and this was the response I got. Apparently, they do work together.
