    here is the pic of my set i made for my own project, these are polished

    you can have yours polished if you like for an additional charge

    i work for the shop that makes these, we also make oil pans, alot of stuff is sold to hardcore racers, mostly circle track dudes.

    look at www.propan.net for more info
    they are a little more pricey than other stuff but well worth it, we have some other brands come in the shop for modification and repairs etc, we see all the stuff all the time plus we go to trade shows and see alot of other valve covers etc.. and honestly ours surpass the other guys like moroso, billet fab, mildon.

    if you (or anyone) decide to purchase some give us a call and say that Brett reccomended you
    EDIT the site is down for some reason sorry, hopefully it will come up

    do any come with a baffle in them?
    Most of the fabbed covers ive seen done come with baffles or holes for a filler neck or cap.
    I like the look of them just dont want the hassle of oil going all inside the TB and Upper Intake lol

    Mine didn't come with anything. I tapped the cover, used a hole saw and then used a dremel to clean up the hole. You can use the trick flow efi filler kit for around 30 bucks if you want the filler neck with cap like stock. Or you can use comp cams part # VH031 which is a black poly baffled filler neck. That's what I used. only cost around 8 bucks.

    If you can still find one - they have been discontinued.

    Those are really nice foxfan, but way more than I'm willing to spend on a pair of valve covers!
