Default Looking for valve covers

I'm trying to find out where I can order a set of those tall/wide valve covers that are designed to handle roller rockers that say "PONTIAC" on them. I've seen them in HPP on peoples cars but they never tell where the valve covers come from.

Thanks,

I'm not sure if these are the ones you mean but they also sell spacers for them. http://www.bopengineering.com/

I bought a set of the cast one like on the BOP website on e-bay for $140. Try that, can find just about anything on e-bay ;-)

The pontiac cast covers look great - But, I had to use a spacer AND modify several of my 1.6 rollers to get them to fit...

The ones I'm thinking of look like the Strelka SB-PVC030 but have the "PONTIAC" script like the BOP cast covers. I don't want to use a spacer but I need to clear the roller rockers. I have Edelbrock's on there now and the rocker hits the intake side screw indents on both heads and I think it's "cheesey" to have to grind on the valve cover and improper to grind on the rocker. It may not effect the rock but I don't like the idea of doing it.

Default Butler covers

Butler sells fabbed covers with PONTIAC on them
Strelka does custom, he can put PONTIAC or your girlfriends phone number or whatever you want on them
