Default valve cover ?

so i bought a set of valve covers for my motor they r perimeter bolt covers. i figured id get them and buy an adapter. now i havent seen them in person but my dad told me they dont fit. like the heads r longer. are they longer then sbc heads i thought that any sbc valve cover would work as long as they r center bolt. and i thought the adapter would work? idk if you can tell anything heres a pic of the one without the adapter.

I'm not too sure about those bro...they look HUGE. Try and find some chrome center bolts off Ebay if they don't. Like the ones in my "sig" pic. They are real nice. Good luck!

Id steer clear of those things man. Lots of places for leaks to develop and it would be hard pressed to fit especially on the drivers side of the car. Cant say Ive ever seen a set like them though, if you wanted to be diff there ya go
