Vette(s): 1974 Corvette L-82 Stingray Convertible
I got a new crate motor for my car, and i also got vortec heads....unfortunately they have center bolt valve covers. is there anyplace i could buy some NICE valve covers??? the new issue of VETTE magazine shows a vette with center bolt style valve covers that actually say "corvette" on it. Does anybody know where i could find anything like that? thanks.

i saw the ones in summit and jegs, but i was looking for more of a polished aluminum finned type. if i can't find any, i'll just buy an adapter, and use the L-82 style valve covers i already have..they just need polished!

Here's a link to the search results for L82 Valve Covers on ebay. As of the time of this post, there was one listing, with three days left.

Good luck!
