looking for a marine valley cover or at least a photo of one. maybe i can fab something up

thanks

Hi, I have 1, still on the engine $100.00, I have a complete engine and velvet drive with exhaust manifolds, I only am going to keep the long block, timing cover and the oil pan all else will be sold.

Here are a couple of marine timing cover pics.  The cover on the left is made by John Mummert and can be used with the marine oil pan with a conventional water pump.  The cover on the right used the water pump that mounted to the oil pan under the timing cover.

i'm looking for pics of the valley cover. i'm sticking a y block in my 27 T coupe. am i overlooking something here? why would i need a marine pan and front cover? i have the coolant outlets figured out.

hey cliff, i shot you a pm

My bad.  I misread what you were asking and thought it was ‘timing cover’.  I do have those valley covers laying loose but it will be tomorrow before I can take a picture of one for you.  If someone else has the picture and wants to post it before I get to it, go for it.

thanks ted, that would be a big help. i haven't lost all my fabrication skills. i have an idea on the coolant outlets. i plan to run heater hose to a remote thermostat housing. i'll post up pics of them if i'm not too ashamed.

Here are pics of the marine valley cover.

Hope I,am not jumping in wrong on this post but have some questions.
I have a 1957 century with a 312 y block interceptor marine engine. It has set for 39yr.  About to pull and start to go over.
Missing one of the flame arrester and seems they used to types. I have add a picture of the one I have. Will these to types interchange and how do they connect to the pan. Looking for one that matches or both of other type if they will interchange
Thanks for help Ike


Preserving the old can be more rewarding than buying the new...

Your post would have been better asked as a new question in the technical section where it can be seen more by others.  Feel free to ask it there also.

Without seeing the bottom of the valley cover or what it looks like with the intake removed, I’m guessing that the air cleaner element is in the valley cover.  Here’s the pictures of a marine valley cover that may come close to matching the one you have where the carb air is pulled directly out of the engine valley.  This one has obviously been modified to bring in carb inlet air from a different source.  As far as I know, the carb neck attachments to the valley cover all mount the same with a single screw.
  

 

Here’s the cover off of a marine engine equipped with only one carb instead of two.
