Default valve covers

I just put my rebuilt engine back in my car and want to get some new valve covers. It is a small block 350. I have seen the black ones with the silver chevy logo. Does anyone know where I can get these??
thanks

Any of the Vette suppliers ahve the "L-82" style valve covers if that's what you want. They are all black with brushed fins and Chevy crossed flags. If you can find a used set they are very easy to restore to factory fresh. If you want new they are out there.

Like Aflac said, go to www.sdpc2000.com Scoggin Dickey sells them for $267. They say they are the short style and come with baffles and grommets for pcv valves. I have only seen them for sale in raw aluminum but you can certainly paint them any way you need to.
