Mid America does not have them, but I found a set with "454" embossed on eBay, and Summit Racing has aluminum ones.

I got mine from Eckler's about 8 years ago. I also know that Paragon Reproductions carry them in their catalog. They are for the 427 motor. In my car I used thicker gaskets so that I would have good clearance. The valve covers are flash chrome with drippers and power brake relief. My car is a 1968 and these covers were used to production through 1/31/68. But they will fit the '69. For a totally accurate car they are not correct though. Paragon as well as Eckler's have an imported one which is much cheaper. I would stay away form the imported ones. Hope this helps. Joaquin
