(July 6, 2004) - For those with a small-block Chevy engine in their race car, Edelbrock now offers new, sharp-looking valve covers. The lightweight, high-strength die-cast Chevy small-block valve covers (#4149) feature black powder coating and a machined top with the distinctive Edelbrock Racing logo. They are tall enough to clear stud-mounted roller rocker arms and have no breather holes for a clean appearance. There are provisions for breather baffles to drill out the breather holes and install the baffles, if desired. Founded in 1938 by Vic Edelbrock Sr., Torrance, Calif.-based Edelbrock Corp.
