I'm looking for valve covers to fit Dart 18* heads. Anyone have part numbers or ideas for different brands. I just don't want to pay $250+ for valve covers. :( :cry: :cry: along with the $689 :shock: for an oil pan!!

Thanks

Got to jump on, I dont think think the 18* big block stuff is, they will take a different valve cover.

I guess he needs to specify BBC or SBC. Check this e-bay seller, he does custom covers. I have a set of SB2's from him, does decent work.

Dart 18*, BBC.

whoops. i didn't know they made such a thing as a SBC!!!! lol

I bought a set from Dart which list from $190.69, but when you place the order it only charges $89. The order says sold as a "set", but I guess I'll find out when it gets here. Either way still cheaper than anywhere else i found.

just what i thought, they cost $299 + shipping :cry: :cry: . Part # 68000030 if anybody else needs it. But dart did change the web site and paid the shipping charges!!
Anyway the motor is off to the machine shop to get put together and i can't wait to get it in my truck!!
