There is a company that makes adapters to mount 427 Ford valve covers on a 289/302/351 Windsor head. THAT myght be your best bet, finding a company to make the adapters.

Any luck finding "Cobra" valve covers and a Cobra oval air filter for the Chevy 350 engine, yet?

I had a Chevy 350 engine in my replica when i bought it, it had the adaptors to mount ford small block valve covers on the Chevy heads. Is that what your looking for? They're in the attic somewhere.
PM me if you need additional info.

I had aluminum covers custom engraved with "Powered by Ford NOT" for my old rat motored car. It was amazing how many people didn't see the "NOT" and couldn't figure out why the distributor was at the back of the engine. Think I found the company just by doing a search for "custom valve covers" or some such thing.

betzjr66, I would normally leave this alone, but it's a quiet Sunday night.....if you're not happy with a Chev engine with Chev valve covers in a Cobra replica, then change it to a Ford engine, otherwise - in my opinion - it's a Chev engine, so don't try and hide it. Leave it as it is. I can't think of anything more indecisive than trying to do a three card trick on the origins of your engine.
Cheers,
Glen |

You could do like this guy did, and just never open the hood.

Chevy in a Ford
I believe that in 2013 all the Trans Am series cars had LS1 engines in them, now with a Fan base and sponsorship they are running engines to match the body style.
We mocked up this Trans Am Mustang body on my latest track racer Saturday.
The car will weigh 2200 pounds, rack and pinion steering, cup car chassis (for safety), quick change rear end, G-Force cluthless transmission and dare I say it: A 383 500 H.P. Chevy engine.
I had the motor as a spare for my Dragster and decided to use it to keep the cost down.

Oh, whoops 
Well I can probably assume that betzjr66 has worked out an adequate solution by now

I originally bought the adaptors and valve covers in 1986 from Butler Racing. I used them on my car for about 2000 miles. I'd be happy to send you photos of the components showing the condition and I'll sell them if you are interested.

It looks like the link I posted above may not have worked, so I have posted another link below to my Cobra build album on Facebook, I hope this one works. Scroll through the photos and you'll be able to see the engine bay with the Ford valve covers on the 350 SBC.
