454 Valve Cover Options w/AC
Ive got a 1984 K30 with the 454. It has factory ac, which I like.
I would love to run the tall Moroso stamped gold valve covers, but I'm sure it wont work with stock AC. Does Moroso offer a short style valve cover that is stamped with the 'MOROSO' logo in it?

Re: 454 Valve Cover Options w/AC
I checked there the other day. Nothing. I didnt know if anyone had ever seen anything for resale or used items. So hard to find good looking non chrome short valve covers.

I always end up keeping the stock valve covers with a nice paint job and a little detailing. They are the only ones that don't seem to leak. Chrome are the worst. Nothing fancy here on my 68 gmc

I agree. I went through chrome and aluminum valve covers left and right. Used quality gaskets and sealers and they still leaked. Repainted the stock ones and problem solved.

Re: 454 Valve Cover Options w/AC
My bbc stock valve covers required metal core valve cover gaskets and spreader bars to stop leaking.

Re: 454 Valve Cover Options w/AC
As I recall, I spent about $30 on the valve cover gaskets and about $15 on the spreader bars - both purchased online.
