What quality valve covers, timing cover, and engine oil pan to get???
My 67 came with crappy thin chrome covers and I would like to replace them with quality thick covers like stock. Any recommendations? Link please? Also, where can I get OEM stock covers if I have to go that route? Thanks!

Summit sells valve covers I bought these they fit and look nice and the flange that goes over the edge of the heads was not to big like the crappy chrome ones. Sealed nice too they have orange ones too

I'd go with Edelbrock cast aluminum but for stock i'm not sure. So here's a bump.

My brother has edelbrock cast ones they fit good too. One the oil pan my stock pan has metal strips that go on each side over the mounting holes the keep the mating surface from warping, I would make sure the new one has them or if your old one does reuse them.

Any pictures of this 'metal strip' you are referring about?

Just look at your oil pan. I've never seen one not made that way. Pretty important to not have the pan that holds the oil in the engine to make positive seal.

Lots of manufacturers out there making quality parts and lots of places selling cheap Chinese knockoffs. It's a 'Buyer Beware' world out there.
