I can see both sides.

I sometimes don't get it when people put stuff on an engine to make it look like another engine. I have seen a Pantera 351C with valve covers that made it look like a DOHC engine. It was most likely custom. I can't imagine anyone tooling up for something like that.

On the other hand, I'm not that crazy about Windsor valve covers. I have had several SBFs, and the valve covers look like small block valve covers. They are puny. The FE covers, on the other hand, look the part. I could see using pent roof covers on a stroked 351W in a Cobra. They would probably look awkward on an 8.2" deck block, though.
