I'm positive it's a 55 Quote Selected

I've though about using chrome valve covers and somehow afixing the Bird emblem form the nose of an MN-12 Bird to each one. I don't know how though. Glue probably wouldn't work and I don't want to drill hole in the valve cover top for the studs on the back of the emblem. Quote Selected

For the look, I would try it. Quote Selected

For the look, I would try it.If you guys want an old school set of finned aluminum valve covers for a 302, Offenhauser has a set. Their part number is #5487 but they aren't cheap, about $250 a set.Brent Quote Selected
