Valve Pan Covers

I have a 69 holiday Cutlass, all orginal 350. Im going to be doing some ugrades to the engine compartment & was wondering about the valve pan covers. There just the run of the mill gold/bronze covers which i wanna keep. I also have covers from a 73 442 which the valve pan covers have "oldsmobile" stamped on the tops of the covers.
My question is......is it a big deal to swap these pan covers out? Im looking at it down the road as will this be frowned upon?
Just looking for opinions
THANKS

Easy to swap out, and just as easy to put the origionals back on later, I think the oldsmobile stamped valve covers look pretty cool, I was thinking of doing the same swap myself.

Swapping valve covers is about the easiest thing in the world to do. The only job easier is changing the oil. I like the "Oldsmobile" stamped valve covers. I have them on the engine I rebuilt for my 71 98.
