[QUOTE="Tourmax, post: 185739, member: 5304"] Well, that was unexpected. Found a set of corvette script valve covers on ebay: [ATTACH type="full" alt="9854FA08-2BE7-49A6-B5D9-4477C6A7CCF0.jpeg"]34366[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="29C840DB-E196-4C6C-9A7E-4DF037516821.jpeg"]34367[/ATTACH] They were starting at 93 bucks, so I chucked a minimum bid on them and forgot about it. Just got an email that I won. No other bidders. So now I have a set of sbc covette finned valve covers. Those are C1/2 style, but I think they might be repo’s since they have a square bolt pattern instead of the early V8 staggered bolt holes. They were also listed as came off a 327. The bolt holes are wrong (not center bolted) but there are a couple ways around that problem. I can either buy an adapter plate and bolt them down or I can rework them to just bolt to the 113 center bolt heads. The vlavel covers will get a paint and polish and the engine bay should look something like this when done: [ATTACH type="full" alt="86C4E0B6-44D1-48CC-84C8-D1819CB106C7.jpeg"]34368[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="2EBFB84E-C762-4199-9F94-DE9B238F2043.jpeg"]34369[/ATTACH] Sure, the script is from something like a C1/2, but it still looks damned sharp under that C4 hood and next to a highly polished TPI...
