To be honest, I'm not a fan of black valve covers, I like 'em shiny.

But, of those listed I like the Ford Racing the best.
Agreed!

I wouldn't do the ford racing one because everyone has those. Be unique so I'd say go for 1 or 2, 2 for clean and simple, and 1 if you want to be even more unique.

I'm not a fan of the black valve covers either. I put these on my engine. The 351 Cleveland is cast into the valve cover.

Some thing to think about is that the both the cleveland covers look like is has that rough black finsh which in time maybe hard to keep clean.

One thing cool about valve covers is that you can show off what you got. You got a 351c, show it off with nice valve covers. Not everyone can do that with the 351c.

Pushrodpower- my engine compartment looks alot like yours with the same colorintake and wires, msd set upand I have a shaker hood scoop, but nothing under my hood is polished or chromed out (except for the msd and vacuum). So, polished or chrome covers would just stick out like a sore thumb and would just instigate me to want to change everything in the engine bay to polished/chrome. The black can be cleaned alot easier too. I like to clean my car, but I don't want to have to be extremely picky about polishing my engine bay all the time. Plus over time polished chrome looks bad as well.
