Default where can I find......

Where can I find some chrome valve covers, that have a corvette logo on them for a set of vortec heads. I bought the car and it came with late model vortech heads on it. I want the corvette logo but I dont want to buy new heads to get it. Also, if I cant get them what are some cool options without just the same old plain style. Thanks

Buy some plain chrome covers and also buy the 'crossed flag' emblem inserts for the C3 valve covers (they sell them separate from the covers as well as in combination). Glue or screw them to the Vortec covers wherever it looks best.

I have a Summit chrome kit that I've been meaning to post in the C3 Parts section. I don't know if the valve covers would fit a Vortech head though. Send me a PM if you want to discuss further.

That looks great but wont fit cause the vortech heads have center bolts. Thanks though. Ive been looking around and I found some chromes without logos and I found some great ideas from jegs. I wouldnt have the corvette logos with them but man they are fine. Im still looking for the ones for the C4. Thanks guys

I'm pretty sure the C4 magnesium vavle covers spoken of are not center bolt either.

You can buy these adapters to use the perimeter bolt covers on vortec heads from Jeg's for one. They are pricey at $129, but cheaper than buying new heads.
