429 Alum. Valve covers

[AzPete]

A guy in the RV park here has a set of Ford 429 Valve covers. Says they are aluminum but not sure of the style. Says he will consider all offers. If anyone is considering them, I will get more info and pics.....

Pics and price with shipping would be nice .
Might look good on my truck .

 

[AzPete]

Will check them out and let you know.

They fit a 460 also Pete? Any pics yet?

 

[AzPete]

I believe only a 429 but not sure.

Turns out they are stock covers that look like crap. The guy told me they were after market alum. ones that just need a bit of polish. lol When I told him what they were, he says "Oh". Not sure there is enough polish to do them.....

 

[tarafied1]

those look like CJ or SCJ for a 429. What does he want for them?

 

[AzPete]

Make an offer. Remember shipping too from 32404. Most likely just take the to the UPS store.

c6fastback has first dibs but I'm not waiting too long!

 

[AzPete]

I shot him a pm when I first posted this info and no response sooooo.....

 

[tarafied1]

well in that case, would he take $50? Probably worth more but not to me.

 

[AzPete]

I will ask him when I see him tomorrow.

 

[tarafied1]

thanks

 

[AzPete]

Just to update things, I was out of the area all day and have not seen the guy since I returned.....

 

[tarafied1]

okay

 

[70_Fastback]

but they would not fit a 460?

 

[tarafied1]

they would

 

[AzPete]

He will take the 50......and you pay shipping from 32404. I have no idea at the moment what shipping would be.

As for the 460 question, I have no idea.

 

[70_Fastback]

CraigII - you getting them?

 

[tarafied1]

put 'em on the rat rod, but if you don't want 'em I do... 429's and 460's share heads so they will fit as long as you don't have any wild rocker arm combo's

 

[AzPete]

Need somebodies zip code to estimate shipping..................
