Edelbrock 4199 Aluminum Valve Cover Set, AMC, Jeep

Edelbrock's 4199 valve cover set is built for AMC and Jeep V8 engines, part of the Classic Series and cast from heavy-gauge sand-cast aluminum, finished polished, in the tall style that clears roller rockers.

Which engines it covers

Edelbrock's application list runs across the AMC Gen II V8 family, in cubic inches: 290, 304, 360, 390 and 401 (metric equivalents 4.8, 5.0, 5.9, 6.4 and 6.6 liters), built from 1967 through 91. Confirm your engine's exact displacement and model year against that range before ordering, since this cover set is sized for that specific family rather than a universal fit.

What's in and what isn't

The set does not include an oil filler cap or hold-down tabs, so plan to reuse your existing hardware or source those separately. The covers can be machined later to accept breathers if your build needs them, but they do not arrive pre-drilled for that.

Background and finish

Edelbrock has made this finned, sand-cast aluminum valve cover design since the late '50s, and the polished finish is the classic look tied to that heritage rather than a newer satin or EnduraShine option. It suits an AMC or Jeep V8 owner who wants the traditional finned aluminum appearance along with the extra clearance height for roller rocker arms.
