Edelbrock Valve Cover 4449 Signature Series 2.8-inch Low-Profile, OE-Style and Emissions-Compatible

The Edelbrock 4449 Signature Series Valve Cover is a low-profile, serviceable OE-style valve cover that accepts emissions gear and minimizes oil use through engineered breather baffles.

Designed to combine show-quality styling with day-to-day practicality, the Edelbrock 4449 Signature Series Valve Cover offers a 2.8-inch overall height that clears most air-conditioning and alternator brackets while accommodating factory emissions components including a PCV valve. Built for easy maintenance, it includes rubber grommets for the breather hole and uses Original Equipment-style baffles to help control oil consumption through the PCV system. Matching breathers are sold separately to let you customize the final look.
