Corvette TPI Valve Covers, Side Bolt, Rare
Hi Everyone,
I have a set of Corvette real TPI valve covers. These look awesome on TPI thirdgens to replace the stamped steel ones. I bought these 15 years ago to put them on my old '86 but I never finished them have long since sold the car. These came on an 85 Vette and were only on those cars two years - 84 and 85. For Side Bolt heads. Come as-seen with grommets but no cap or emblem (I have the emblem somewhere but I can't find it... if I find it I will send it free of charge) I had sanded one down to polish it for my old show car and never finished them.
$95 shipped
I also have a brand new set of stamped steel valve covers side bolt from one of my old crate motor. $20 for those. Pic available upon request.
Thanks,
Erik

I like that design. Do you have some height measurements? I'm interested but I'm worried they won't tall enough to clear 1.6 ratio roller rockers because my stock ones didn't.

Sorry for my delay in response! They measure approximately 2.4" from the bottom to the low point in the top.
Let me know if you still have interest.
Thanks!
Erik

Bump, these are still available. A friend had one of the corvette emblem for these covers in really good shape, I can include it for an extra $20.
Thanks!

I used to have a couple sets of these. They are nice cast covers.
