Where can you get this style valve cover?
 
I was tired of the cast alum. COBRA covers and thought about a change of pace. Are these available, or do you have to sell your first born to obtain a pair? And do they fit a 351 Windsor heads?

These are the early 221-260-289 type covers. Used in 62 and 63 on the motors that had an oil fill tube sprouting out of the front cover rather than a fill cap on the valve cover. Shelby added the tube and breather. And yes, they fit the 351 Windsor.

Still out there at swaps and in some boneyards. Cruise the Fairlane boards and look for guys who want cast COBRA covers and do a trade! Sold my last set a while ago....

I made these some time ago, they lose some oil out of the breathers and restrict the type of rocker arms you can utilize. It's just the price of admission...........

I saw some of the covers on Ebay, but without "Cobra" and the CS logo. Is there something else to look for? Maybe I should just call ERA.

Rick and folks:

Tony Branda sells a 1/4" spacer that would allow the use of roller rockers, etc.

I have a spare set of them if you are interested. They have the Cobra logo decal, as well. Took them off CSX 2189 and replaced them with the two hole filler on each cover.
