Pontiac 400ci Valve Covers?

[Ken McGuire]

I would like to add ribbed valve covers to a Trans Am Firebird 400 c.i. engine in 1/24 scale and wondering if Chevy (small block / big block) aftermarket parts will work? There seems to be many more choices for Chevy parts than for Pontiac so thought that might be the way to go.

The valve covers I need do not show a manufacturer (e.g., M/T) so any of the nice aftermarket pieces would look good.

Competition Resins has a bunch of nice valve covers. I like their Late Model Pro Stock set. They are like the ones on BB Chevy motors and are blank. They have a link over in the resin and aftermarket forum.

Are these what you're looking for Ken? They are for the 421, but they should work for the 400 also.

You might try looking at a newer released 68 firebird kit. Revell did two versions stock/drag, that kit might have what you need.

For a 1/24 scale model I would suggest the valve covers from the Monogram Little Deuce:

The Revell Pontiac engine parts pack has what look like ribbed valve covers, and it's readily available on eBay.

Berr13 is right as there is a nice set of ribbed chromed valve covers in the Revell Parts Paks Pontiac 421 c.i. V-8 Engine kit.

Thanks guys, I'll try the 421ci parts pack.
