    Anyone have special valve covers with "MERCURY" on them for a 302?

    Not that I've seen. But, if someone had some for sale that were aluminum and raised up for roller rockers I'd have to own a set

    most of the mercs i see have "ford" dress up under the hood. its still a ford powerplant so its nothing to be ashamed of.

    Yeah, but, It would be nice to have something a little different. would be especially cooler if was the same as the cursive Mercury like on the back of my car.

    I guess the only option is to have some graphic decals made and put on the plain Chrome dress up's I have.

    Install Mercury script emblems on a stock chrome set?
    That would be neat.

    I have one merc valve cover with the embossed script, pretty cool looking, I believe they stopped making them back in the late 60's? only ones I've seen were for the f.e. engines.

    if you had a pair of them, you could cut out the script, weld it onto a set of plain small block covers and you'd have your own.(y)
