Engine Dress-Up

Is there an advantage in getting those nice tall valve covers ?
And is there an air filter (carb) that works better than ...
Whith a 350/air gap/carb ill probably have to get a cowl hood..
or cut up a stock one ?

Tnx for responding

The only advantage to the tall valve covers is the extra space underneath to run different and improved valvetrain set-ups.
