Does anyone have a set of valve covers for sale and possibly intake & thermostat housing for sale, trade, or loan? Mine are powder coated red by X-Metal (You've seen the Pics"Bikertat"-July TOTM). If anybody wants them, let me know. I'm going to it back together as close to stock as possible (to minimize conflict at the dealership when I take it in for the "Rack").
Can you post up the pics of the items that you would like to trade? I might be able to trade you all the items you are looking for.
Surely the dealership would not give you any crap over powder coated parts, would not affect the engine in any way..
I agree with Fatjack on this. But if you still want to trade I have a stock engine that I purchased from Flchub that has all the parts you are looking for. I'm taking the engine apart anyways to forge it so let me know what you want to do.
OK, but just curious. Where did you get that motor? Do you know the VIN# of the truck it came out of?
Oops, my bad. Just noticed you got it from "Flchub", unless he got it from salvage it's not the one I was thinking of. I'll contact you tomorrow. I've had to much to sleep and it's time to drink now.
