Old style valve covers to 70's heads
 
I've got a nice set of finned alluminum Corvette valve covers from my uncle's 67 vette, it had a 327. The covers have no provisions for ventilation, and no place to add oil. I'm wondering if anyone makes an intake that will vent the case, and give an oil fill tube while using the spread bore carburetor. Also, will these valve covers even bolt onto the heads on my 70 350???

Yes, they will fit, as long as the bolt holes are in the right location...I think the 283 had an off set bolt for a couple years, I think it was only the 283...chack to see if the holes are directly across from each other...good score i might add.
If you look at the front of your intake, there should be a round part that is about 1 1/2 inch in diameter, and aimed to the driver's side, you can have that drilled, and a '68 and older oil fill tube installed. I think there is venilation provisions spot to drill on the back of the intake someplace too.
Try to find an old stocker with this set up and inspect it real good.

I have a Performer manifold that has the front fill in the manifold. BUT I'm planning on using it. But, there are after market ones out there.
