Anyone know of some nice looking Valve covers for a big block 383 ? I sure am not finding a lot what are you using ?
Want something different then the black crinkle painted Mopar ones lol

Thanks

Offenhauser sells fined ones that you won't see everywhere.

An option would be to get a nice (undented) set of OE ones then paint em your choice of color (& there is always chrome ones). EDIT I too like the offy "rounded" ones & there is some DC new chrome ones on FABO right now for 2 bills.

I like these. They look simple but have a nice thick flange so they seal tight without any leaks.

Andy, where are those from, and do they come without the coil pack mounts?

I added coil pack brackets. Here is what the covers look like with just a breather.

I believe 440 source offers some like those, also check with Mancini and Hughes scope

Don't feel like you have to use them straight out of the box. I've been customizing aftermarket aluminum valve covers for years and each is its own creation. Just a few to get the imagination going ...

I like these I bought from Mancini. They seal up great when using aluminum heads as it now has two very flat straight surfaces to seal against. And I hate oil leaks. Using these I never have any oil leaks after adjusting my valves once a year. Ron

Thank you @moparx! George's idea was pretty cool I thought -- a real diehard, he only wanted it on the passenger side's Pentastar. If you need any help putting your idea together just give me a call! I try not to exactly duplicate my prior work so everyone has a truly "custom" set.
