I have a set of early SBC staggered hole valve covers that I would like to run on a later pair of heads (straight across bolt holes). Does anyone make an adaptor for those?

All I've seen are adaptors to run straight across covers on new center stud heads.

TIA, JH

Those are the ones I don't need. They adapt older valve covers (straight pattern) to late heads (center bolt type).

A collector/restorer will buy those staggered valve covers from you. I had a nice pair of straight bolt hole corvette script covers I let them go too cheap,now I wish I had em back! Sorry to get off the subject,but those restorer types will be interested. Glenn
