Default TSP Stg. 2.5 5.3L Heads.. What Valve covers?

OK guys-

From what I can tell, I cannot reuse the stock valve covers on these heads?

What kinda valve covers do I need to pick up?

Thanks

Jeff

Oh, sweet...

I haven't been able to look at the car, I'm 250 miles away from it - do the 2000 model cars have center bolt valve covers?

Oh, I didn't know the 98 valve covers wouldn't fit. It's not a big deal to me, I don't have one, but just a nice thing to find out. THanks.
