Frank, how about having the emblem portion of the valve cover cast as a flat plateau which can take a decal as is, or be machined into a 3D emblem.This might make some sense. Or make the whole top side thicker. I don't know how much it costs for the custom machining to modify the top covers, but this would allow a lot of variety; covers with fins, covers that look like stock covers with the 8 scallops and are polished and allow the use of the decals like the 'Thunderbird Special' decals, covers with the 'MERCURY' blocky text and are polished, covers with 'Lincoln' text, 'F100' and 'F100 V8 Special', 'Special Tuning', etc.
Best regards,

Ted, I would have interest in a set but not sure the "Thunderbird" logo would look right on my 56 F100. Hopefully there will be enough interest. Keep us posted.

I would take a set. Maybe Edelbrock would see there is a demand and would make a head for the Y also. Just a pipe dream but still a dream.

If you look back in the Forum, you will see that there has been lots of discussion on custom valve covers... Same on after market heads (for several years!). However, it will undoubtedly be a "frosty Friday" before Edellbrock will manufacture anything new for the Ford Y-block, for a couple of reasons. First, the company primarily built it's business, particularly in recent years, on supplying parts for the SBC engines. And further, Vic Edellbrock "Jr." is not a fan of our engine in any way. He reportedly described it an interview as, "terrible"!
