Well, since you have centerbolt valve covers, they're goin to cost quite a bit more. You can get them from summit or jegs.

$112.99 bucks would make ya happy

This is what I want. Well the are not the center bolts but if you click the link you will find them. If you want something cheap and just chrome go to the parts store and you should find some either Mr. Gasket or spetrum valve covers that are 40 bucks for the pair.

If I were you I would start to put them on in the morning cause when your taking off al those hoses you never know what your going to run into but valve covers yeah you should get them on in a few hours or less.

i got chrome centerbolt covers from summit for about $48 i think, they're in there, just gotta dig. unless you've got a bunch of crap to move out of the way it shouldn't take you more than a half hour to swap em. who knows with emissions hoses though.
