I tried this once. Make sure you do NOT drill the hole over a rocker. Seems like a senseable thing to do, but you'll see that the script covers pretty much all the places between rockers. When I did it, i didn't even think of it, and when I fired it up, my PCV popped off, and my oil cap/breather was tossed out from under the hood. I tried double gasketing them to clear, but it wasn't happening.
I gave one away, and the other resides on the wall as art in my basement. Right by the useless triangle foam air filter that cought fire, and the 472 piston with a broken rod, and the camshaft out of that same 472 that came out in 3 pieces. I kept the front which was only 4 lobes.

Jose, is there any way I can talk you out of taking those valve covers? I need a set of those for my 66 327. I had a rocker split and it came out the top of one side. They are correct for 65-66 for sure and only on the 327's as far as I know. The 283's came with the script valve covers.
