Something special about those? If valve covers were the basis of leadership, certain "DeSoto Firedome" valve covers would have saved that brand.....

No matter how much you polish a turd it's still a turd. At the end of the day it's still a Chevy. I wonder if my truck would go faster if I swap my grime covered stock 351 valve covers with some snazzy chrome ones?

I can't even read what's on the picture, too small for me. Maybe it's the laptop I'm on.
