  • Suits BB Chev 396, 427, 454, 502
  • Black fabricated aluminium
  • Welded-in baffles
  • 100mm tall (overall)
  • With breather holes
  • Includes bolts

  • Engine Application: Built for Big Block Chevrolet 396, 427, 454 and 502 engines fitted with short bolt heads. Suits Chevelles, Camaros, Impalas, El Caminos and resto-mod BBC builds where a clean fabricated look in black is the goal.

  • Bolt Style Fitment: BBC valve covers come in short bolt and long bolt styles, and the two are not interchangeable. This set is short bolt style. Easiest check is to measure the bolts on your existing covers before ordering.

  • Fabricated vs Cast Construction: Fabricated covers are welded from sheet aluminium, giving a smooth flat top with clean welded seams instead of the finned cast look. Lighter than cast, and the modern aesthetic suits Pro-Touring and street-strip builds rather than period-correct restorations.

  • 100mm Tall Profile: At 100mm overall, these clear a high-lift camshaft, roller rockers, shaft mount rockers and stud girdles commonly used in performance BBC builds. Worth measuring your tallest valvetrain component before committing if you're running an extreme high-lift camshaft setup..

  • Black Fabricated Aesthetic: The black finish suits blacked-out engine bays, sleeper builds and modern street machines where polished or chrome would feel out of place. Pairs well with black accessory brackets, black breather caps and black or wrinkle intake manifolds.

  • Welded-In Baffles and Breather Holes: Welded-in baffles control oil splash off the rocker arms and stop oil being pulled into the PCV system, which causes the smoking and oil consumption common with un-baffled covers. Breather holes are pre-cut, ready for push-in breathers or PCV grommets.

  • Included Hardware and What You Need Separately: Comes with the retaining bolts. Gaskets, push-in breathers, grommets and PCV valves are sourced separately, so plan to add these to the order. Fresh BBC short bolt valve cover gaskets are cheap insurance against leaks.

  • Practical Buyer Tip: Black-finished fabricated covers benefit from gentle care to keep the finish looking sharp. Use a soft microfibre cloth and mild engine bay cleaner, and skip harsh degreasers, abrasive pads or wire brushes that can scratch through the finish and expose bare aluminium. Touch up any chips promptly to keep the look consistent.
