I have a cracked valve cover and i'm trying to figure out if they are interchangeable.

Thank you in advanced!

Completely different engines, would require and adapter to be made, I am sure.  I might have one (472/500 type) in chrome, the correct cover should be easy to find, original or aftermarket (chrome) on eBay.

Thank you 35-709,

I have a 454 in my 67, but the valve covers that were on it are cast aluminum with the Cadillac script on them.  I would like to get something similar as one of them was cracked and the previous owner appeared to JB Weld it, only for me to find as I was sorting out leaks.  I can find lots of scripted valve covers for the 472, but would like to get some for the 454 Chevy. (yeah...I know :))

Any ideas on a good place to get 454 valve covers with a Cadillac script or logo on them? :)

just gave up looking and ordered a set of normal-ish valve covers.  Thank you though :)
