I need a set of DENT FREE valve covers for a 68 340 Barracuda. I think 318, 340, 360 are all the same and 69 should also be the same. Thanks, Lou

Cuda Lou, I do have a set of valve covers from a 273-318. They are all the same the 273, 318, 340, and the 360 I believe. Anyway, these valve covers are not the valve covers with the black crackle finish with the chrome wire holders. These are the plain metal with orange paint. I can send a pic if you would like. I do not know what a fair price is for an OEM set, but the fancy ones sell for too much money. Anyway, I have what I have. Thanks. sgrip65.
 
$45 to $75 needing restored $80 to$145 nice ones
 
i have a decent set 50 bucks plus shipping. pm if interested

I appreciate the help but a correct set will have a tower for the breather on the driver side in the center. And the passenger side will have a recessed hole in the center for the PCV.
 
340 covers ARE different. They have a bracket for the wire harness on the passenger side that the two barrel motors did not have.

Correct me if I'm wrong. That extra bracket is to provide clearance for the choke linkage of the 4 barrel carb.
 
Here is a picture that I found online showing correct covers for a 68 340. I have been looking for an original set for a few years to install on my 68 formula s. Since I have had no luck I’ll be pulling the passenger side harness shield from a nice set of 69 340 covers that I’ve had since the 80’s and will just weld it onto my 68 318 pcs so they will look proper.

Yep those are 68 340 valve covers.
Please dont cut up 69's. I'm looking for the same piece for my 69 340 vc and my 67 commando vc. I think AMD might make the loom piece.
AMD also makes repop valve covers.
Good luck.

Not sure, I think these may be genuine 340 valve covers? Of course, every pair I have ever seen has had at least one corner of the bolt area split open, these are no exception. Must be a remedy?

Oh, wait, maybe not, I just read thru this thread again and see that other wire loom guide in the center of one of the valve covers, mine don't have that piece.

I guess none of these valve covers have any part numbers stamped on 'em either.
 
No stampings, they were paper labeled I believe. Yours maybe are both pass side? Drivers side I dont think ever had tabs or looms. Tabs and looms on pass side changed whether 2 or 4bl as well as year changes.
