Default Source for OE type valve covers

Please point me to sources for the finned aluminum valve covers used on late 60s to mid-70s 350 engines. I need a pair with an oil filler cap and breather/PCV valve hole on one, and just a breather/PCV valve hole on the other. I don't have a Corvette (yet) but have followed links to this forum several times over the years when looking for actual facts about the various 327 engines, ignition advance, and more. I want to use these valve covers on a 69 pickup engine. BTW, my son recently bought a used 2023 C8 1LT, Z51. I got to drive it for around 20 miles on some hilly, winding back roads in western New Jersey. I was surprised and delighted to find out how roomy it was, even for my 6'2" 220-lb frame. And I didn't think the Z51 suspension was harsh at all.

I’ve seen quite a few knock off, finned aluminum valve covers available online. Ebay, maybe even Amazon.
