So whats the story behind these valve covers? Did Mercury actually make a small run of this valve cover back in the days? Cool stuff  Oldmics

I think that the ones that are availiable are super cool  I would like to see the ones that Gary has just for comparison purposes.I assume Garys are "Y" Block and not MEL style covers? Oldmics

I also had heard of Merc having a factory finned valve cover. Kinda like T Birds have only sporting the MERCURY script. Never seen one but according to people that have more experience than I do they do exist. More "hens teeth". Although cool for the Merc crowd they would not be right under the hood of a Ford. Still wouldnt mind hoarding a pair away. Oldmics
