Anyone out here have decent old school style10bolt valve covers for an Olds 403?
. The Holley covers on the motor were over tightened at some point and leak like crazy even with new gaskets.
. Trying to avoid stamped steel style which is all I can find online...
Pics for reference...

Body is super straight and clean! Stored almost 10 yrs before I bought it... after some tiny dings were worked out this is the result.

Front driver side, mostly installed. This pic just before shock was installed.
Rear springs also installed. Had to cut off old snubber style boxed traction bars and unbolt home built subframe connectors to access front mount of leaf springs.
Will be replacing home made connectors with Gen II connectors from ProTouring F-Body.

Doing the dirty work yourself is great. I wouldn't mind doing my own, but don't have the garage space. Plus, the shop I sent it to offered a really good price to strip to bare steel & primer painting, and they'll have it done by May 1st.

I'll be keeping the rear drums, just upgrading to all new parts for them.Last edited by silver_bullet; March 27, 2018, 05:15 PM.
