I am planning a new crate 350/330hp for burb but want close to stock look. I would like to paint motor chev orange and loose teh chrome timing cover and valve covers and run a chev or period set of custom valve covers. I do want a good seal on valve covers to avoid leaks on new engine. What are your recommendations with pics if possible? I think this motor has the vortec heads but not sure if that matters.

Yeah, the vortec heads makes the difference, they are centerbolt valve covers. However, I remember seeing in Summit a kit you can buy that adapts them to the other style.
