I went with these finned vintage aluminum valve covers from Speedway, and I havent really seen very many people running them, but they are a very solid quality casting. I was looking for some thing 60's or 70's looking in an LS valve cover, and these just scream that era, so I had to run them on my build.

So only two screw holes? those are interesting, very clean looking which is what i'm after...
Yep.. Only two screws, because these are very heavy casted, so the two screws are enough to give steady pressure on the gasket. If I remember correctly, they were less than 200 dollars, which I thought was a pretty good bargain compared to other options out there.

Those covers look nice but we have had issues with the cork gaskets leaking. And trying to get cork gaskets seem impossible. Kinda sucks to have an Ls engine with an oil leak. That never happens.
We also have our own line of covers that we just got instock. I'm working on getting solid packaging and the correct ARP fasteners for the covers. They have dual 3/8npt holes for breathers, they use a factory o-ring seal and have an enlarged cap to make oil fill much easier.
We have them in stock, just not quite ready to ship.
