I run the Moroso centerbolt covers. They are polished aluminum, but they are kinda expensive. I think Summit makes a pair of cheaper chromers.

Personally, I've always been a fan of the Corvette L98 centerbolt valve covers.

Here's a pic of the vette valve covers:

I like them too.
I'm using the Moroso covers myself, but I considered the vette valve covers as well.
Pretty expensive new, but you might be able to find some used ones.

Those do look nice, but I am partial to the LT1 style Valve Covers. I think thats it. Its chrome w/ a red bowtie in the middle of it. I think they come on Ram Jet crate engines. I can't find a good pic of them anywhere.

Thanks guys.....will the vette ones fit on mine?? I believe the 305 and the 350 are the same size.....my brother has a L98 and i looked at his vette and they look very similar.....but i dont really want to go through everything with pulling mine off and having them not fit. Id rather go with ones that will fit rather then crame ones that donr really. Thanks

They are the same... I have the tall ones on my engine. Just required re-clocking the alternator so the charge lead was on top.
