I know nothing of those, but I am wondering if anyone has used the new Moroso aluminum valve covers, they are $$$.

That's a big difference in pricing looks like someone is trying to cash in as much as they can kind of sad .....even at $500 is crazy only valve cover I would pay more than 500 are those empi gt valve covers from the 70s ....they make those new empi gt valve covers for around $100 which are also good for a vintage speed build ......
