First off, I'm new to this V8 scene. I've only ever owned 4 cylinders but from those I learned a lot about cars and engines. I've been studying D1's since March of 2013 when I bought mine and it currently has the whole engine bay pulled for a motor refresh. Anywho...

With that out the way, will a small or big block chevy rocker cover fit our heads? With 4 cyliners every motor has a different valve cover based on spark plugs and such. But I look at V8 rocker covers and they almost all look the same. Long rectangle with typically 4 bolts.

My guess is no, the measurements are slightly different, but I'm hoping to be surprised that it will work so I can just buy new ones instead of refurbing the ones I have. Thanks!

P.S. yes I searched google and the forum to no avail.

 

IDK, but how hard is it to clean the rocker covers????

 

SBC Chevy ones will not fit, BBC will definitely not fit.

Only thing that might would be old buick 215 covers.

Just clean and paint your old ones

 

Thanks for the responses. I plan on having them powder coated, but the main reason I asked was for the following:

Clear Vue Concepts

 

Cool, but not $285 cool.

 

Eh, worth the splurge to me. lol

 

have you seen the inside of your current rocker covers??? ....

Worthless when the thing turns black inside lol

 

you can buy adaptors to run just about any valve cover you want, check the site on the other side of the pond 215 buicks are in kit car of every flavor use the proper valve covers
