Looks like my M&A valve covers.......e xcept mine are black......the y have a flat bottom sealing surface (no indent / shouldered) area like the stockers do.  I had to RTV the valve cover gaskets to the valve covers.


They are old school  :powersix: , but I like em!  :cool;
These are not ATR Valve covers as the file indicates, they are M&A's

They're no longer in business as I understand it.  You'll have to post in the wanted sections of all the boards & hope someone has a set their willing to part with.


Think that TA Performance may have bought them out many years ago, but not 100% sure.
TA have some similar Valve covers though.


Even ATR had some that looked very close to the M&A's. 
You'll have to hunt around for some used ones no matter what .


Good Luck.

So we should take yours and do some sand casting and a bit of machining...
until someone rats us out for logo infringement LOL

AJ has some of this relationship archived:

Pretty sure that style of head got shut down due to the logos.

Odd you should mention doing that though...    I've been working with a foundry and thinking about casting some pretty trick valve covers  (and some not so trick units that would actually be cheap to cast and machine)
'87 GN - 4.2L SFI Turbocharged innercooled V6 - Chrome valve covers - supra pump - 14" K&N - 52mm throttlebody - rocker shaft supports -  1/2 intake spacer - TB coolant bypass - 3" ATR exhaust tip - Alum intake pipe - NOS timing cover - chip - relocated charcoal canister - CR42's - stock
