Hemi Valve covers

[RENNUR96]

I found a set of old Hemi valve covers, my question is how do you know if they are for a 426 or 392 engine? I think hey say powered by Chrysler on the top in script with a long z bolt pattern down the inside edge, spark plug holes are about the size of a silver dollars. My idea is to black crackle paint then highlight the z pattern with hemi orange use for wall art.
Thanks for any response.

[5.7 hemi]

Those would be first gen Hemi covers.

If it's for art I guess it doesnt matter. post a picture but like 5.7 says, probably Gen I. 392, 354, 331, etc.... do they have 3 female bolt studs welded to the top between the plug holes? not all Gen I covers did, but no Gen II did. look like this??

Hanging on wall at antique mall haven't bought them yet just wondering if they are worth 90.00 for pair, booth has lots of old tachometers, older speedometers and gauges some still in boxes. 5.7 hemi & 2059 and anybody interested next time I get up to that mall can take some pictures of section with parts & display case with gauges. Occupied right now just purchased project car today I have been looking for a MOPAR like my old 69 runner that I had in 74 searching off and on for about 5 yrs. 1968 numbers matching GTX 440 747 auto.

I've restored some ...







They were for a 392 and some of the heaviest gauge metal I've gotten to play with over the years.

There were also two fabulous sets of KB aluminum valve covers ...... I still smile when I think of how fine that metal was to play with, and how it was just dyin' to be beautiful.





Kindly excuse the sweats. It was a bit chilly that day.

Cudachick1968 that is what they are, thank you. I am kind a new at using computers I will try posting pictures.

I'd say you did pretty well with that one ... stellar GTX ****!

You're quite welcome RENNUR96. If I hadn't lost a hard drive in the meantime, I could probably even give you the part number too; I always grab a close up of factory stampings just for reference purposes although I don't post them.
