From my source, the original owner. When the conversion was done, in mid 1968 it took three days and only the new L72 short block was used. The original chrome valve covers were on the engine and the finned valve covers were available for purchase or installation and the Motion inserts for the valve covers were available as were the fender emblems.The standard is what is beleived to be the SS-427 emblems on the chrome valve covers only if you purchases thier engine packages, and is stated in their advertisments.

Don't pay too much for those covers. They are still available new by CP Products (in ca.). They are the same ones that Joel used(s)I bought mine from Chrome-It, a distributor in PA for $89.00 3 years ago. Chrome It goes to all the major swap meets. I do not have their number. Mine have the 739 on the inside cover also. CP has been making these same exact covers for 35+ years. CP also made these covers as a subcontractor for many years to other companies (Mr Gasket, NRS etc)that would have their logo cast in the square center section. I also have a set that have the NRS(Nationwise Rod Shop) logo in them and they also have the Chevrolet 739 in them.The ones I bought from Chrome-It do not have any logo in the center.
