I talked to the guys at Ultra Pro today and it turns out that they have built SB Mopar covers before. They build them for Stanton and they are super lightweight. Sounds like they are for sprint car stuff so probably a W8 or W9 type head.

I painted a pair of the covers just to see how it looks. I like the painted version better than the bare aluminum but some people might prefer the shiny look.

Paint kills the "billet bling" effect. At a glance they look like my no-logo Indy cast covers with paint.

I like painted valve covers as well. No bling required....

hey cc dave, on your breathers, where did you get those? i know mancini used to sell them but havent been able to find any recently.

These are my first set.They weigh in around 1000 grams each, much lighter than the cast units. These ones are going on a 572 my friend is building.
I'm making the next ones taller to clear Jesel and T&D rockers.
W8 covers aren't far away, I'm doing some standard covers for myself, just some SBM units. I've been approached to do some P7 covers as well.

^^^Those looking good^^^

. Who makes those valve covers and breathers?

A set I have done for Mike Gray, I've got to do some W8 covers for him next

I made a second version of the billet valve cover with a clear top based on some lessons learned from the first version. The gen 2 valve cover is a little lighter and I moved a couple of bolt holes so it would line up better with multiple cylinder heads. I found out the hard way that Trick Flow, Edelbrock and Ma Mopar put the bolt holes in different places.

Andy do you have a store?

andy, could you explain which holes you moved, and how much ? or did you slot a couple ? thanks !

Bottom ears are farther apart on Trick Flow heads than on stock heads. The difference is about 0.020 per side. I split the difference so my valve covers fit both. I don't really care about OEM heads but I figure I can't get too far away from that dimension since someone might make a head to OE specs that I do care about.

No I do not have a store. I do have a website though where you can see stuff that I've designed for Mopar engines. If you want to buy stuff that I make you can talk to folks like Hughes Engines, Mancini Racing, FHO, Best Machine, Scott Brown, Firm Feel or Mazzolini Racing.

I think I'm going to tweak the design a little bit to lay back the lower edge so I have more clearance between the exhaust manifold.

A little known fact about factory heads is that the valve cover bolt holes are not square to the rail. They are all tipped toward the intake side. Also the rail area where the bolts are drilled are also tipped. This means a flat surfaced valve cover will not sit evenly on a factory cast head. I realize these covers are not directed toward this end of the market, but thought I could pass this along.

Your idea to tip the covers away from the exhaust is a good one. There are cast aluminum covers out there that warp terribly when hot, then go back into shape when cool. Tipping them should prevent some of that issue.

My sheet metal fab, w8 covers have a gun drilled outside flange, has all the spring oilers machined into the rail. Real slick setup.

Those clear top cover are beautiful!

Thanks. I like using them when dyno testing. Just a quick glance and you can see if everything is working like it should.
