Posted in the Group Buys forum as well:

Who would be interested in a set of 100% BRAND NEW Factory/Triple Chrome Plated Valve covers? (Yes, 3.9 and 4.7L included).

I'm working on a price but the initial cost looks to be right around $140-$150 for the 3.9/5.2/5.9L and about $250 for the 4.7L. These are not used or custom stampings...they are factory parts but plated.

"Factory"

If you're looking for clearance with roller rockers, they can easily be modified to fit.

Thanks, but I'd hate to beat and grind on a set of $150 COVERS, 1 miss hit, and I'd have plating cracks/rust (possibly).

Would have considered, but will be going 1.7's soon, plus the tall ones look coooooollllll.

Hey Bernd, is the reason the 4.7 covers are so high because they are Magnesium? Are the covers expensive, or the plating of Magnesium more expensive? Also, is powder coating an option?

Thanks man!

Bernd, I might be interested in something like that. I would want the modified or taller ones as I am also considering rollers at a later date. Keep me informed. Thanks
