Default Stupid Question Time #2:

Do valve covers from a L-82 fit on a L-48, particularly the 78-81 years? :)

Yup. They fit. In fact, I THINK they're the same. Someone correct me if I'm wrong...doubting myself now.

Either way, they're "short" small block chevy valve covers. Pretty much one size fits all unless you find some newer center-bolt covers.

The L48's stamped steel covers and the L82's cast alum covers are interchangable.

I can prove it cause my L48 has the L82 covers on it!

I knew I thought I was maybe wrong. I'm positive that ugly red-anodized Moroso covers are NOT stock and WILL fit though. Just ask Bubba. :rolleyes:
