r. rocker valve covers, finned lifter covers...
I saw that someone was asking about where to buy these products, and the answer they got was Clifford as being the only source.

I have tried to find Hawes Engineering on the web and they do not seem to exist online. Does anyone know a way to find/contact them? Would like to get a set of the lifter/valve covers from them.

https://www.460ford.com/threads/valve-covers.162149/ about halfway down the page is a post from Rob Hawes whose signature block is Rob Hawes-Anchorage Rod Works-Anchorage, Alaska. Any other references I have seen are on the 460 forum, where his alias was WhiteLightning. Forum says he last posted in 2018. Maybe that will give some a start?

For those looking for a valve cover like the Clifford one, I had an idea. In this video the guy is building up a 300 and he makes his own aluminum v.cover. It appears as though he has access to a machine shop. It might be worth a try to post a notice on his youtube channel and ask if he'd be will to make you one of the covers.

Looking at that video and the way he made the valve cover, I think if he made you one it would be 1000 in labor. That thing came out nice, but I'm surprised he didn't do a side cover, that cnc machine would knock that off quickly with no welding involved. The valve cover is a lot more complex.
