My fleabay searches tend to turn up the $15 Chinese stamped steel units and the Offy finned. I've got the stock "Chevrolet" script chrome one, but have a lot of "rod" pieces and parts going on under the hood as well, so I'd be interested in something more unusual. ebay

Actually if you want something cool/different look for a Mercruiser 165 valve cover. They are aluminum with small fims. They're pretty cool. Todd
