Cool Ford Motorsport Valve Covers for a 302

In my pile of parts left over from finishing my 79 Bird, I ran across a set of Ford Motorsport Valve Covers for a 302 motor. I used the factory blue covers on mine instead and had these Motorsport covers left over.

They run about $130.00 new. This pair could be cleaned up and painted to look very nice on a 302 motor.
Let me know.
Tim

Lee:

Per your question, yes, the valve covers are aluminum (polished or not, I don't know) and are finned and have the Ford Oval and Motorsports emblem. They're in perfect condition. And, they fit either a 302 or 351-W.

I am told that to get them looking like new, there is a product (some jelly-like substance) that can be brushed on them and then hosed off.
I can't remember the name of the product, though. Sorry. You can have them for $50.00 plus Postage.

I'll be out of the country, starting tomorrow until the first of June. But, if you want them, reply sometime today or evening (Friday, 5/21/04).
Thanks.
Tim
