the picture I posted is not my actual ones.

I just went out and checked the garage. yes I have them. they need a good cleaning. there are no broken fins or any obvious damage.
I will get them cleaned up and posted in the appropriate section tomorrow.
I use the same style for the big block in my truck, and I got the small block set in case I put in a small block. I have had them about 15 years now and I havent used them yet

Allensracing · 12-11-2010, 06:06 PM

how about $90 plus shipping as is, $130 polished?
they do not appear to ever have been painted. I took a picture of the worst end of both of them. one has minor fin damage, the other has a small dimple, it looks like a hose rubbed it or something.
they are discolored but should polish up fairly easy and come out really nice.
there is no oxidation or any type of pitting at all. I took the pictures in bright sunlight.

51 68CHEVY · 12-11-2010, 06:10 PM

No!! I'm looking for just 6 fin, no emblems, and no holes in the middle of the valve cover. And they have to be straight hole no stagered.thanks anyway.

kiknrocks · 12-11-2010, 06:13 PM

Ya those look good ill pm you when I get home. Thanks

Kik, I also just posted a for sale ad in the "general" section.

**WIDESIDE72** · 12-12-2010, 11:49 PM

I saw these on C List here in Austin. There is no mention whether they are the early staggered one or later straight pattern.
