Gasket pattern is stock, and for the most part, yes, stock valve covers will work. Depending on valve lift and rocker design, I would be checking clearances for rockers and shaft hold downs. How stock are you talking? OE valve covers or aftermarket replacements? I've had Milodon stamped aluminum valve covers that needed massaging fitting my shaft hold downs and Harland Sharps on 915 heads.

Depends on how "stock" you want the engine to look.

Yeah, sorta like that. For this car I’ll probably stick a little closer to stock appearing then what I’ve done in the past (like your pic) but I will likely try hide some heads. Are those, ez’s, sr’s, 440-1’s? Looks good no matter what!!
