Summit, Jegs, etc (pick-up any car /hot rod magazine), would be a better place to look

Several years ago I got a nice set of tall, finned, cast aluminum covers from NAPA ($89). I don't have the part number anymore. I don't know if they still carry them. I like 'em.

I like the GM Performance Parts chromed steel ones that are much better than other chrome ones and get them at Pep Boys for under $50. I have them on both my Chevelle's 468 BBC and my Nova's 355 SBC. Good quality, thicker steel, and never had any leaks.

be careful with the height, if you have power brakes the booster may interfer.

Yes I know My valvecovers are the tall ones and they are close to the booster.But they do not hit

Tried to put the tall ones on my BB and could not get them past the booster.
