There are plenty of them on Ebay- - - -but be sure and buy a couple of cases of oil when you get them. They leak!

I would have to say a good heavy cast valve cover would be the way to go. But all the cast have center bolts like the 216. They are also pricy. Classicparts.com or www.stoveboltengineco.com

Here are some machined, aluminum billet timing gear covers from Seven Gems for Chevy and GMC sixes.

Doug Lee might make a custom oil pan for a 235 or 261. He did for my 1954 261-powerd street rod to clear a GMC oil pump
