I have a good set off a 327 that will work. Strip and paint them and they will look great. They are the ones that came out in the late 60's that are smooth with one crease down the middle. Usually had the 327 sticker in the flat spot in the middle. $20.00 plus shipping. If this sounds like something you would like then send me your email addy and I will take a picture of them and email it to you. Ernie

Ummm.............Unless he has a 327 block, with a road draft tube at the back of it, and an intake manifold with an oil fill tube & breather cap on it, or drills & bolts on aftermarket breathers to the 327 valve covers (that have no holes in them for breathers)............the engine will build up excessive crankcase pressure.........and blow gaskets & seals out of the engine........along with an oil slick to go with that. I've been there and done that.

Just thought you might save some headaches without learning the hard way.
