Kim thanks for the pictures. I am going to try them on my car when I do my motor swap in a couple of weeks. If they fit they are going off to be re-chromed!

Thanks again Jason

Well I took the valve covers off the 68 396 that I have. They came out real nice after I blasted them. The only difference from the pictures that were posted is, these valve covers don't have the drippers. Is this because it was a 325hp motor. It makes no sense why they had different versions of valve covers for different HP cars! If any one is interested in pictures I can post them.

In theory yes,solid lifter engines were the ones that received the drippers above them,but some hydraulics did too,even though it wasn't the norm.But some solids didn't either.
I would like to see your pictures..
