B&M 2 piece aluminum valve covers finned vintage
I was thinking that this forum might be the best place for some of you with great memories.
I have been hunting these valve covers for a flew years because I feel or think these are era correct however not a perfect solution with centerbolt heads but conversion parts are avaliable for fitment.
Anyone know the history or timeline of these valve covers?
They came in tall & short & also stamped B & M & uqnstamped version. With 3 IROCs currently I think they have found a home & with the TPI fins, I think make a cool looking valve cover especially once everything is polished.

They remind me of the Edelbrock Elite covers. I dig 'em. They used to have the Edelbrocks for centerbolt covers also, but haven't seen them in a few years.

Don't know that I recall noticing these back in the day. I like the B&M logo ones.

Edelbrock still makes these to this day but they just simulate 2 piece covers.
There just isn't much info out there on these B & M covers but I remember them for way back but back them I was into much older cars.

That's a pretty penny alright. Those are the tall ones but no B&M logo. That's quite a few pennies for some valve covers.

Since the original question wasn't answered, even though it's almost 4 years later, here it is...The two pc tall B&M aluminum valve covers were available in the mid-to-late 1980's, which is when I installed a pair on a 327 I built for my 1969 El Camino.
