Moon Finned Valve Covers !!!

This area is for those who need help modernizing their Lincoln for purposes other than strict restoration. Such questions can be about adding an electric fuel pump, adding fuel injection, boosting horsepower or gas mileage, or tightening or lowering the suspension. Body customizing and chopping can also be here (although this practice is not encouraged by the LCOC).

Anyone have a set they want to sell? If not I may get the Suicide Slab guys to try and do a group buy. I think I'm finally ready to cop a set.

I'm done buying since I bought 2 sets but asking the slabbers is a good idea. I have yet to see a set on someone's car but I have a few from mocking them up if you need some to help get people motivated!

Cool. I reached out to them and they said they will make however many I request.. so if no one else wants a pair I might just get 1 set. 6-8 week lead time they said.

Jason,
If it helps the cause I'll get another set. Was actually thinking about getting a set and painting the fins to switch it up a bit. Or maybe slowly building another motor with all the fixins!

I've already posted mine installed but here's a pic of them nearly 5 trouble free years later, with a couple of other upgrades, and ugly engine bay.

This post is very old; it was originally a group buy but you can now order as you want. We had such good success in ordering they decided to keep the castings out and they now make them made to order. Not sure if a group buy helps at this point or not; its been quite a few years.

Yup i realise the post was started quite some time ago but i was originally replying to the post from bd94s10 about a group buy which was just last month,
Here in the UK even if stuff is freely availible group buys generally get you a discount just thought it may be worth joining in

Well I know when we started this we had to get at least 10 sets sold before they would cast them. Try to start a list with the guy from last month. We paid $265/pair back in 2010 if that helps. Not sure what they are now on the website.

Apologize for not responding back TeamSynergy.. yeah good points made.. that 1 set can be ordered now vs. a group buy.. might be too much of a pain to try and order a group and collect the money etc. Looks good smeeluv!!!! I may just order a set here real soon.

These are catalog stock at Mooneyes now. That being said, you will still have to wait for them. You may be able to get a better deal if you get a group together, but they are 315 plus shipping as of this post (13 DEC 2018).

Group buy price was I believe around $271 or something like that.
