I have about 15 sets of clear valve covers available for sale at this time. Five of the sets are assembled, and the other 10 will take 1-2 weeks to be finished. These valve covers consume a lot of CNC time on the billet aluminum rails, and take about 2-1/2 hours per pair to assemble, so I only produce them periodically, on a limited basis. There are a couple of pictures of the plain valve covers below:
These valve covers are vacuum formed from polycarbonate and are quite strong, and will not yellow with age. They are in the Cobra Jet style; I have been working on a pentroof version but am not happy with it yet, so all the covers I have are in the CJ style. They are available plain as shown above, or with an oil cap on one or both covers; this is the same oil cap setup that is available on my cast aluminum valve covers. The oil caps can also be machined for a screw-in breather, a -12 AN fitting, or a PCV grommet, and the oil cap arrangement has a baffle underneath. Pricing is $295 per pair for the plain covers, an additional $25 per valve cover for an oil cap, or an additional $35 per valve cover for an oil cap that is machined as described above. So, if you wanted a pair of valve covers with a machined oil cap on each cover, the price would be $365 for the pair.
I am also now releasing a light kit for these valve covers, with an LED string to light up the valve train. The light kit is an additional $95. The light kit can also be added to the clear valve covers I have sold previously, in case you want to light up your covers. The light kit runs on 12 volts and includes a switch and a fuse, plus the wiring and connectors needed to connect to the valve covers.
Regarding fitment, I can't guarantee that these valve covers will fit all valvetrain setups; in fact I know that the new Comp Cams setup is a problem due to the end stands. However, a while back I modified the bottom aluminum rail of the covers to make it thicker, so there is room to grind on that if necessary to provide clearance. I know that the stock rocker assembly will fit, the older Comp Cams and Dove rockers will fit, the Precision Oil Pumps end stands will fit, and I'm pretty sure that the Harlan Sharp setup will fit, although I haven't been able to test fit one directly. I also believe that the T&D race setup will fit with a little grinding on the bottom valve cover rail, and that the T&D street setup will fit. I would welcome any information from my customers regarding how these covers fit on the various rocker setups available.
As some of you know I like to test all my products on my own engines and vehicles before offering them for sale. These valve covers have been on my 68 Mustang for two summers now with no issues, and the light kit was in place all last summer and still works fine, so I am comfortable offering them for sale. The picture below shows the valve covers on my 68 Mustang; on the passenger side you can see a plain oil cap, and on the driver's side you can see a K&N style breather (from S&B Filters) screwed into the cap.
Here's the same picture with the lighting kit turned on:
The light kits currently are available in three colors, blue, green, and red. I like the blue ones, and the green ones match the color of the instrument lights in some of the old cars, so they are kind of cool also. The red light kits may not be available for long, because my source for them is discontinuing them after their current stock runs out, so if you want the red ones, get them now.
