So Dave IS still around!

Go for the CarbonComponents stuff, hands down. I've bought stuff for myself and others in the past from them, and it's top notch stuff-- they're designed and built even better than they look.

Have your wallet ready though, if I recall the BBC valve covers were around $400/pair and you have to drill and bond the oil fill cap/PCV baffle where you want it.

Yes Dave is still around. He has been busy making parts for Chrysler. The Big Block covers have brand new molds he is making them for Mercruiser. They are going to use them on thier premier twin turbo motor. Mine dont have any cap though i'll have to find out about that. I just fill it through the pcv baffle hole. They are great pieces. I have big block and small blocks in stock, and he is sending me a center bolt small block cover.

Now I'm confused. Is that the supercharged engine you mentioned as a turbo engine ? Might have been a good source for big block turbo headers.

You're always confused!

I think he meant twin blowers, not twin turbos.

ya i thought it was turbocharged but all i could find was that twin screw supercharged engine. That must be the engine Dave was talking about making the covers for though because they look like his covers in the picture.
