Interested in seeing some numbers on it also.
As far as valve covers go. The chrome covers that had the Super Stock Decals on them were actually 1964-65 covers that were used exclusively with the K Head.
The 68 Super Stock Hemi's used the same covers as the Street Hemi's that were finished in a wrinkle Black paint. This is assuming you are looking for a OEM look
If you want the chrome, just order up a set of repops for the 1966-1971 Street Hemi style,then add a set of repop decals.
These are an old set of original Nascar covers that have been "finessed" some to fit my application.
If you look at the valve gear clearance humps, these are actually factory stamped. Very rare and hard to find.

That was very helpful, thank you. I may just go with the black wrinkle finish, then. My car came with the chrome ones with the super stock decals, which I thought looked cool, but I guess I knew that it wasn't "correct". Not that my engine is going to fool anybody into thinking it is OEM correct. Jim Keyes also gave me a set of cool old aluminum covers that have the black plates/provisions for running dual plugs, and they look kinda cool, but not what I'm after. Yours look terrific.
I will post a video when I get one! I will try to attach a photo of it now...
