and i don't know if the rad cover will work because we have a diferent overflow tank set up. i have been working on making a custom one for my car. but have been kinda lazy about doing the work so it is far from done. if your intrested pm me about it.

i don't think there are after market ones for our sixxers... you can order some new stock ones and strip them and powder coat them... that would be sick... but other wise your SOL

Zatrekaz · March 22nd, 2008, 06:05 PM

Why not just powder coat the one thats already on there? I would like to get something like this done.

I was thinking about just grabing some High Temp red paint from Autozone and goin to town on the valve covers...

Onemanzu · March 22nd, 2008, 06:29 PM

he could do that but you would have to steam clean them to get all the oils and shit as well as sand blast them cause of the grim... well on mine you would have to anyways

itschristorres8 · March 23rd, 2008, 12:09 AM

you could grab some bbks from delk..

there needed for anyone running a pretty high lift cam
or ARP bolts on the rock arms. they will not clear stock valve covers.
another guy is making valve covers but i dont see it happening any time soon.not til the upper and lower is finished

mustang1072 · March 23rd, 2008, 12:17 AM

itschristorres8 · March 23rd, 2008, 12:32 AM

whats the lift on it? most likely you wont need it
i dont think a 212/212 will need the bbks at all

mustang1072 · March 23rd, 2008, 06:48 PM

um.. il hav to check the lift to be sure... but i know 212/212 is super mild

tsp_2177 · March 23rd, 2008, 09:05 PM
