Chrome Paint, Other than that there isnt much out there for EFI 460's. If there are any aftermarket valve covers they will be price. I recommend Roller Rockers for your 460, I put some on my 93 two weeks ago and never looked back. The motor revs free and alot quieter than the steel stamped ones. For $200 well worth it!

those cast aluminum factory valve covers will polish out like chrome
mine did
I bead blasted them then sanded then used a buffing wheel
very nice and rather unique
BTW I have just found that the upper intake can be opened up quite a bit to match the lower

thanks guys
btw what do you know about this particular version of the 460? you mentioned it was an efi. the PO has installed a holley projection system i wonder why he would have abandoned the factory version? do you know if these were used in lincolns or trucks?

Hey C rossman, what brand roller rockers did you use? I was told that most of the roller rockers wouldent fit under the EFI valve covers with out hiting.

Scorpion, They fit great, I purchased the pedestal mount ones so they bolted right in. I bought them off of ebay.
