Unusual valve covers and intake ??

[69Z28-RS]

A fella on another forum (in Melbourne, AUS) found the following shown parts at a swap and purchased them and hasn't been able to find any information about them or when they were manufactured.   Both the valve covers and the intake strike me as possibly being for 'Trans Am' type cars.   Have any of you fellas seen such? Or have any information about them?

It looks like an Edelbrock SY1 Smokey Ram intake manifold that has had the lettering ground off the lid prior to polishing it.  I have never seen Moroso valve covers in that style before.  Kind of an interesting look.

Those Moroso covers are indeed something I have never seen before either.

That fella hit the jackpot, those valve covers are really something else!

Edelbrock SY1 intake (stands for Smokey Yunick)...... looks like the edelbrock casting has been removed

The valve covers kind made me think vintage but the height and width makes me wonder. Most old ones were the small style. I remember seeing spacers for roller rockers in the day. Which was the 70,s.

I think the valve covers have a FORD look to them.

I think the valve covers have a FORD look to them.

That's the first thing I thought, too. I've never seen a set or those covers, either. Maybe a foreign market thing?

Intake sure looks like a Smokey-Ram, minus the logos. The valve covers remind me of the Ford 'finned' covers from an FE or a Boss 302.

It appears that the valve covers have been swapped from side to side....to clear the intake it would seem.

They resemble slightly the GMPP covers on my old '56:

If they were swapped side-to-side then the Moroso lettering would be upside down.
