The valve covers I'm using on this motor are the only set I've ever seen. They are original Chrysler Nascar stampings, but what sets them apart from other Nascar covers is the valve train humps, both intake & exhaust sides.
Whenever you use large diameter springs with tall installed spring heights there is interference issues with the covers. The common solution is to bump out the covers with a ball peen hammer to get the clearance you need. These particular covers have those clearance humps, but they're not massaged with a ball peen. They are actually stamped this way. They also have adjuster reliefs on the internal baffling for large lift cams.
They came from Bob Lambecks collection of parts probably from when he was teamed with Landy. They were in pretty tough shape when I got them & needed alot of hours of repair to get them to what they are today. I also removed the tall breather stands that were located in the center of them & relocated shorter tubes in the fronts for drag racing use. I wanted to chrome the covers, but the metal work would have shown, so, instead I had them powder coated in aluminum, then clear coated. I think I prefer this look rather than chrome now
The breathers are machined billet that a buddy lathed out for me, & are hooked to a pan evac. system on the header collectors
