Offenhauser 3416 Details

These rugged Offenhauser aluminum valve covers give classic good looks to lots of Hot Rod power plants! The sides, ends and fins have all received the "polisher's touch". Cast aluminum design also helps reduce noise and dissipate heat versus stock valve covers. One cover includes a hole for a breather/filler cap.

Fits all 1953-1966 Buick Nailhead V8 engines.

3-1/2" overall height
21" long @ base

I'm building a 425 nailhead for my 66 buick special. I'm running a original offenhouser dual quad intake and these valve covers are going to be a awesome addition to the engine. I have two 66 buick specials, one is a 4dr and the other is 2dr. I've purchased Speedway Motors products numerous times for both of my cars and I have never had a issue or problem with any of their products. Speedway offers great products at awesome prices, their service is excellent, and everything ships in a timely fashion. Great high quality products at affordable prices!

Hi I just received these valve covers from you, I just tried fitting them and I have a couple of issues 1, the bolts that hold down the original covers are too short do you sell longer ones? 2. The cover doesn't clear the power steering pump it's an old 1955-1957 Saginaw long type, I want to change this anyway would a type 2 Saginaw be able to be swapped I'm not worried about the brackets I can mod those if needed but I can't find anything about the pressure they run at, I don't want to blow the seals in my rack if the new ones run at a higher pressure. Great service by the way, really quick delivery thank you
