390 chrome valve covers

Looking for a set of chrome valve covers for my 390....
also in need of an exhaust manifold (would buy set
if in good shape) ....mine is cracked. The chrome breather
would also look good if someone out there has a good deal.
....I know that I can purchase them new but I am
searching the market for good used components if they
are available.

...............thanx. Mike

If you go to Ford 390 Engines on Ebay there should be the chrome your looking for. what side do you need on the manifold?

I agree with the ebay thing,theres a company that sells new chrome parts on ebay and i got a pair of nice chrome valve covers from them for under $30 new. There good quality also nice plating and heavy guage aluminum.

Hi There Bob...

Thanx for the quick response, I will check out Ebay.

.....the manifold I am looking for is from the
right side. (drivers side) it is a hair line crack
across the center of the manifold. I will also
check to see if this can be welded up without
warping the cast metal. I am not up on the latest
welding techniques and this may be an option.

Mike the Drivers side is the left side of the car. You sitting in the car determines left and right. I have a drivers side manifold, No cracks just needs to be cleaned up and of course i would have it surfaced. The # on it is C6AE9430A Donut type. $75.00 plus actual shipping.
