Edelbrock 4262 Elite II Polished Aluminum Valve Covers Chevy Small Block - for V8

The Edelbrock Elite II Valve Covers bring a modern interpretation of the legendary Elite Series design originally introduced in 1985. Engineered specifically for Chevy 262-400 cubic inch small block V8 engines from 1959 to 1986, these valve covers deliver both form and function for enthusiasts seeking premium appearance and reliable performance.

Premium Construction and Finish:

• Heavy-gauge die-cast aluminum construction for superior strength and heat dissipation
• Show-quality high luster polished finish that catches attention at any event
• Raised cooling fins with contrasting gloss black accents between fins for the signature Elite aesthetic
• Precision-engineered gasket flange ensures reliable sealing and leak-free operation

Clearance and Compatibility:

• Available in tall profile design—2 inches taller than stock valve covers to accommodate most roller rockers and valvetrain components
• Low profile version clears all air-conditioning systems, alternator brackets, and aluminum rocker arms
• Overall height measured from gasket flange to the highest point of the cover
• Direct fit for Chevrolet small block applications including 262, 267, 283, 302, 305, 327, 350, and 400 cubic inch engines

These Elite II valve covers combine classic styling with modern manufacturing precision, making them an ideal choice for street machines, muscle cars, and show vehicles where underhood presentation matters as much as performance.
