The plan now is to bring these and put them on the car.....Tom the painter wants to gently set the sheet metal up with the engine/transmission in the car... More later.

what year are the valve covers. I've got the same setup I'm putting together. I have the three deuce also. I like my finned covers but there setup for a cap and pcv. hope I can get mine looking half as good as yours.

62galxe,

As far as I know(and someone here will know) I believe the block letters V/C are 1960-1963 352 issue?..... not quite certain..... everyone I know and see runs a "Thunderbird Script".. which are very cool....but my car is not a Thunderbird.
I also had some very rare FE Cal Custom 7 finned aluminum covers...which dressed up the engine nice with a 3x2 Air Cleaner.....but ... A young Ford Designer in 61 or 62 working on a mule car would not have access to those.... trying to stay ALL Ford...... if possible.

Valve covers are typical 58-64 or 65, design changed after that.

More curiosity, I see the oil fill pipe in the manifold is removed and plugged and with no holes in the early valve covers how are you going to add oil?
