Looking for 455 Valve Covers....something nice...

Anyone have any tips on where to find a descent quality and looking set of valve covers for my 455 that is going into a 68 442?....Looking for something with baffles......as I am going to have the pcv valve and breather on them.

Old M/T or even the tig welded aluminum look real sharp, but I would need to start cutting or welding them to make them work for that application.

Please help!

I think you have to have notched ones for BBO into a 68.

My favorite is 73-74 factory covers, either chromed or powdercoated. Just something about that OLDSMOBILE word stamped in them...

Yes I have a set from a 67 big Bbo so only one is notched they are fair at best looks like they pulled the engine and the chain dinged them but I also have a reg set that's blu in color
