valve covers ?? Custom

Hello all,
I am building a 350 and going from center mounting bolts to regular mounting bolts. (guess there called regular) anyways I was looking for a valve cover that had Pontiac on it and with the PVC and breather holes. Can somebody tell me where I can get these??

Also what’s the pros and con with center bolts, I haven’t ordered the heads yet but I will be very soon.

Thanks
Brad

Any information will be greatly appreciated.

I think you can get the from GMPP, or any GM dealership.

Also they are called perimeter bolt style.

All those are, is standard steel chromed valve covers, with 383 badges (that go on the hood or fender normally) put on. Easy to make yourself.

They are all over Ebay Motors.

You could also try restoration places like Year One too.

Sorry to hijack, but this thread answered a question I was going to post re: PONTIAC rocker covers used in The Punisher movie.

Hmm at those prices, I'll have to wait a while...

Cheers,
Mark.
