Thanks.

It’s been years, but shipping wasn’t that bad. Price are $NZ, works in our favor. Might be worth asking.

https://acecustoms.co.nz/products/ Great guys to do business with, they did a couple custom small castings for me.

Considering the currency exchange rate, you'll still be money ahead. Allow up to 21 days for shipping, but my Ace valley cover arrived in 2 weeks (June, 2020). Based on the value, there should be no Customs fees, and no sales tax.

Since we’re on the subject, here’s the other set I’ve got. They came out of AU IIRC. Cast in the late 50’s or early 60’s by someone with the initials BG. The seller was a Ford parts supplier, mainly AU early parts, and had ended up with them. They were selling them on eBay in 2002 or 2003. Supposedly I got the 3rd set in the US and first on the west coast. No big deal to me, but I’ve not seen another set. Same F code clone the Mercury covers are on now.

Too bad more custom covers weren't made for the 368

Kultulz posted on the 2nd page of this thread pictures of both the Lincoln and Mercury aluminum valve covers for the 368 engines.  Here’s the direct link to view those covers.  Custom valve covers for those engines are definitely in short supply.
http://forums.y-blocksforever.com/FindPost157226.aspx 

Just a reminder, LYB and MEL valve covers are also welcome on this thread.  LYB engines would include 302, 317, 341, 332, & 368.  M-E-L engines would include 383, 410, 430, & 462.  If you have some of those valve covers, let’s see pictures of those.

Here are the valve covers from a Mercury 383 M-E-L engine with some added breathers.

Buzz,
I had trouble also.  Click on insert, you will then see a row options to the right. Click on the on the one symbol for pictures,
it’s to the left the video. That will give you a window to choose your photos. Click on the photo, it will show you how many pixels, click on that and choose a reduced size, and use.  That should do it.

- 1958 MERCURY SUPER MARAUDER 3X2 400HP -

http://forums.y-blocksforever.com/uploads/images/9acff35f-6f57-49e2-9c35-e531.png



These rocker covers were an option in addition to the carb setup.

LINC offered a intake/carb kit in 1958 with a different ACL style.

The LINC (and 59/60 J-BIRD) rocker covers were plain stamped metal resembling the early FE baldies. Chromed was available.

MERC had the M stamped in the sheet metal cover. EDSEL had the E-475 raised letters.

Here is (was?) a source for repro (LINC - MERC (M) - PLAIN) CAST AUM -
