Good luck with them. There have been other threads about them. Members here had to reem out holes quite a bit to even see the threaded head hole. I like the idea of them, just not how I hear they fit. Let us know, you may get lucky and love them. It would be nice to hear. Love to see some pics of them on your engine, out of the car.. Thanks.

Were they specifically advertised as fitting a 426 Hemi?

I can't believe that someone would go to the trouble to build something like that knowing it wouldn't fit. There are some off the wall combos out there. My guess is that they fit some sort of "Hemi", just not a 426 or a 392.

If they were advertised as 426 valve covers, I would be contacting the EBay seller.

Those look like they fit Brad Anderson "Fathead" racing heads for blown Alcohol or Top Fuel applications.

you haven't told us if you contacted the seller and informed them of a problem ?
It's possible you got the wrong item .
That would be the first move 10 seconds after I found out they won't fit. No make that five seconds. posting here is not going to change their shape.
