External Engine Components Needed: Possible Trade

Hi Everyone,

I am looking for the following components:
-Headers for a 69 B body (455)
-Stock raised letter valve covers that will fit a 455. Surface rust OK, but no through rust. Will consider other valve covers as well.
-455 large capacity oil pan
-mondello oil restrictor kit

I can pay cash, but I'd prefer to trade for a BOP TH350 with a B&M manual shift kit. TC included. Leak free.

Let me know what you have,
Chris

I forgot, I also need motor mounts for a 69 olds B body, both engine and frame side.

I don't think you will find headers for a 69 B body. This dual exhaust manifold is as close as you are going to get. Check it out!

Capriceguy I believe those raised letter valve covers were only available on 73-74 Olds motors If you go hunting for them.
Also, all olds valve covers on 260,307,350,and 455 are all the same size and interchange.
Some have more bolt holes in them.

Headers by Ed if you want custom headers and Olds64 is correct. Because the steering box is behind the control arm you wont find pre-made headers for it.

Capriceguy I found a driver's side valve cover for you but It is pretty damaged. Freebie if you want it.

Thank you very much for the offer, but I think I found some finned aluminum covers on Ebay.

I bought one of these. Anyone have a passenger side manifold that they want to get rid of? I am told I need a "W" manifold...

Thanks,
Chris
