WTB: 1 notched valve cover

Hi - wondering if anyone has one new/old notched valve cover for sale maybe from a leftover project, etc. Only need one for a 455 swap into a 79 trans am to help clear the a/c box (passenger side). Looking for the longer notched version before I make the attempted install.

Thanks

I have two valve covers that have the same slope as the notched ones. It is over the entire length and should clear the AC box. Don't know what they came off of because they are painted corporate blue. $25 plus shipping each if you are interested. Can take pics and post if needed.

Awesome! Yes a picture would be great. Not sure I have seen those before but should work. I am running stock rocker arms, etc.

Much thanks for digging out and providing a pic- but I have the same style.That's what came on my 76 455 with J heads as well. I wonder what the one on the left is from in your photo, maybe an earlier motor?
Looking for the one on the Left for example

Thanks. Saw it but a little pricey for used. New are $180 shipped on eBay and hate to split up a pair. But maybe I am being too picky.

Would you split the pair? It would need to be shipped as I am in the Midwest...
