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).

FOR ANYONE INTERESTED PLEASE READ!

Make sure you tell them you want the Lincoln 430 MEL valve covers and how many sets. You MUST comit to buying them so if you are not serious please don't buy!!! They will email anyone buying when casting begins and you can then purchase through their site once its set up.

I'm in for 2 sets. Just placed my order. Bob said they just hauled the mold down to start getting it ready for making the covers. He also said it is a heavy cast and the covers will not require any "hold downs". They have 12-13 people in as of today.
I have alot of parts, call me. 314-402-6747

That's great news! Now I may have found finned air cleaner lids for the Holley 2300's...if I did I will let you know. The problem is they are 5-1/8" neck like a 4 barrel but the are almost touching so getting the smallest individual 4 barrel base is too wide to on the 2300s to be back to back so close. That's for another topic....later!

Thanks for all the interest! Moon is more than happy and had a greater response than they had ever though! Thank Trond!

SCRATCH THAT! They are not the diameter they told me they were. back to the drawing board.

You are having email problems but here is my reply from your email you sent me just in case it did not work:

I could not email you for some reason so it much be your email because Tronds does work and I could not even email you! Just go this instead:

You need to email moon directly now anyways. Trond is no longer taking the names. Just to go mooneyesusa.com and on the left it will say "Contact" and just fill out your email and message letting them know you are interested in however many sets of the MEL Lincoln 430 valve covers. They will email you back and update you. They are being made now or sometime very soon and they are making only 25 sets, 19 are already claimed, so get going! Its not too late!

Good! I was worried I could not get a hold of you so I am glad you left a message on this topic. These are going to make people wonder what engine is in these cars! Its nothing they have seen on a regular basis yet there is dress up parts available!

Gotta love these motors! Good luck and we all have to post photos once they come in and are on our cars!
