Centerbolt Adapters?
I saw them on Ebay before. Basically they allow you to bolt normal Valve Covers to Centerbolt heads.
I want to buy some Sheetmetal valvecovers, i dont like the centerbolt ones they have out there. So i would like to buy the standard covers and then use the adapters on my stock heads.
This would also allow me to keep the same valvecovers when i get some better heads.
If anyone knows where i can find some, can you please post a link?
Thanks!

I strongly recommend that you stick with the center-bolt valve covers. The reason why GM changed to center bolts is that they elimenate oil leaks. I'd rather have a so so looking valve cover which does not leak, than a better looking valve cover that can leak.

They also make some nice fabricated center bolt covers too. I would also suggest to stick with center bolt covers as well.
