Hmmm, well. I dont know a whole lot about V6's. Is your a 3.1 or a 2.8 You might want to check over on the V6 part of the board and see if the later model 3.4L or 3.8L will fit onto your engine. Are you needing some for some roller rockers or something? I heard you can modify stock ones to make them work, at least you can on V8's I dont see why not on V6's also. I am doing this to my valve covers when my roller rockers go on my engine. Then I am just painting them chrome silver color, should look decent. Anyways, good luck.

Didn't that make a mess of your enginebay when it was started and driven? Not to mention always running out of oil in the engine.

You could always try a salvage yard too, valve covers are some of the cheapest parts they sell usually.

Was just funnin ya. I thought maybe you had another engine you bought that didn't come with them. If you're looking for chrome then the junkyard is out.
If you just strip and clean your stock valve covers really well, then paint them, it would look better than chrome. The chrone on the low $$ parts isn't very good and starts to rust in a year or so.
