Original MT valve covers. those are my favs...I have a set on the 67. wouldn't mind a set on the 65. Let me know if you want to get rid of them. I have the standard chrome ones now.

good job. It does get easier!

I'll be keeping the MT ones. I'm going to have someone clean them up for me though so they look new again.

I'm tempted to move this thread to the Grumpy Old Farts Lounge, as you're showing nudie pictures of Gertie!

71 stamped on it and what appears to be either GT or 6T stamped a couple times on both sides. What the heck do those mean?

Couldn't tell you what the 71 and 6T or GT on your heads mean but you can easily find out which block you have, look underneath on the right rear corner just above the oil pan mount:

Never really researched head stampings since mine were original to the block.

It looks like those are GT 40 heads. There should be three vertical bars on the front of the head. The "real" casting number is on the underside of the head and you would need to remove the head from the block to see it. You can a date code off the head by pulling a valve cover.

According to the folks I bought Gert from, they said it has GT 40 heads.

Since you're a visual learner, here's a pic of the bars mentioned above. THis is a GT40P head, GT40s have 3 bars as mentioned. All iron GT40/ GT40Ps have these markings.
