C2 Aluminum Valve Covers

[Sheldon S.]

I was wondeering how to identify the correct valve covers for a 65 coupe with the 350 HP motor. I have read some stuff about the earlier ones with different heights of the letters and of course the ones with the seam through the O in corvette but what should i look for on the 65's?
Thanks in advance Sheldon

Re: C2 Aluminum Valve Covers

The different heights of letters and numbers of fins pertain to earlier (56-58) covers. The later covers with the bolt holes directly opposing should not have the casting flaw through the "o" except in '67 or possibly very late '66. Your 65 should have covers without the casting flaw.
