Top end components...

Does anyone know where I can get some bare polished aluminum valve covers and fuel rails. I've looked everywhere. And what do I need as far as ventilation goes for the valve covers? I'm trying to have it as clean as possible. These are the ones that I like...

But I don't see how I could ventilate the crankcase or add the oil.

Here's a couple of different options:

I got something these: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/MOR-68450/?rtype=10 for my Gen 1 Lightning. I had the Lightning emblem machined into the valve covers & then I just drilled the holes I needed for ventilation/oil fill tube,& added some baffles inside, (threaded holes were already there).

So what about fuel rails??

[KBScobravert]

What intake are you running? If you are still EFI you may find it hard to fit certain valve covers under most manifolds without a spacer, then a hood to accommodate the intake height.

I'm running a trick flow r series intake manifold, with a 1 inch spacer. I also have a cowl hood. And it still is an EFI car.

Then it should clear most if not all the tall valve covers then.

As far as fill hole for oil and breathers. I run 2 Moroso breather tanks with -12an from each valve cover to its own tank mounted in the fenderwell. For the oil fill, Steeda makes a nice aluminum threaded ring and knurled cap with an o-ring seal. Of course for the crankcase vent you need to weld -an weld bungs for and a baffle on the underside. Same with the oil fil; you will have to weld it in.

I used Moroso fabricated aluminum valve covers specific to the 94/95 alternator bracket. We used two Moroso baffles we had to trim to fit but they came out real nice and clean.

Do you have any pictures of your set up?
