I am just wondering if anyone has used these valve covers? They are to give original look but are taller and can be run with roller rockers.

I can't get the direct link to work but part number is NP504T

Thanks in advance.

Byron, yes I have used the OE style Chrome Valve Covers on my 454 70 Elky. Went that rout when I converted to a roller cam for durability with todays oils. Got tired of changing cams and lifters. These work fine and really look like the orginals. Ofcourse they do not have drippers but that is not needed with rollers. Got mine from Ground Up. You might want to give them a call for a price comparison. I seem to recall around 90 bucks for the pair.

Bryon,Google up "Noah Performance" and look at their Cheater valve covers for BBC.They look exactly like OEM but are 3/4" taller to clear roller rockers and nuts.They sell for approx $50.00 (great deal!)They fit well and the chrome is excellent.I used them on my 70' Chevehttp://i392.photobucket.com/albums/pp10/bbmusclecars427/100_0032-1.jpglle SS pictured here.
