The following was spun off from another thread looking at replacing the stock power brake booster on a '76 F-150 RWD truck so as to clear tall valve covers. The engine is a big block FE.

Perhaps that plainness could be addressed with a badge or emblem like this:
Note that I've changed 427 to 447 which would be more accurate for my engine. Even a decal might do but who in the world makes custom badges of any kind?
I see that some engine builders engrave their names and logos on these fabricated covers. I suppose that would be via a CNC operation. Are there any vendors doing this kind of work?
Thems some purdy valve covers.....but they need a supercharger to complete them.
..corrected the pic links above.
I've got a 434FE stroker in mind... Edelbrock heads, FAST EZ-EFI 2.0, a 100 hp shot of NOS, a 4R70W, Sanderson headers, dual exhaust, 3G alternator, Lincoln Mark VIII fan, AC, PS, PB,.. .. all wrapped by an otherwise period-correct 2WD '71 F250. Watch out!

Love reading your build threads! Looking forward to it!! Wish I could afford an efi conversion, but I'm always on a (strict wife set) budget lol.

I have no wife and no children that I know of... must be why there is a Ferrari parked in my garage. LOL.
Sock away $50 every pay day and the big brown truck may be delivering an EFI system sooner than you think. Money you don't "see" is money you don't spend.

i have a set of a fabricated valve covers( where they look welded together) i have not installed them yet as i want to dress the engine up a tad more.
