Hi, got one more question for you guys. My 455 has the notched valve covers. Ive read online that these were "super rare" and was wondering if this was something rare i should be extra careful to hang onto or if its just another type of valve cover. Ive had offers on them, one guy offered $25. Just kinda wondering what the deal is on them. Thanks guys

If they are in good shape with no dents or dings, they can be worth over $100. I have seen a pair sell for over $150, but that was a few years ago when people thought they still had money.

They only came on Cutlass' and 442's from 68-72 with either a 400 or 455. That's why they are rare.

wow, thats great haha. Yeah i knew they only came on Cutlasses/442s but wasnt sure about their rarety or value. They are in good condition with only a few scrates and some dirt, still have the original paint on them mostly. Guess i got a good deal too cause i bought the entire longblock for $100 haha, come to find out i may have been paying for the valve covers alone and getting the rest for free

thanks for the info, i think im going to decline this offer for $25 haha
