Default Chrome valve covers

I have a 1989 4.9l and I wanted to put a chrome valve cover on it but the only problem is I can't find them anywhere. Does anyone know if they make them or where I can find one?

Sean, If you closely look they have some for the 4.9l but not for a 1989

Well said, Sir! I mean absolutly no disrespect, but this sounds very 19'ish, when the money could be better spent on the thing's that would actually increase performance, MPG & relibility! "Looks like it's going fast standing still"
is only a figure of speech! Actual speed is alway's the same: "0 Flat!" & less money to show for it at the finish line! How about a nice "bright red" 48-60K coil? MSD superconductor wires/ brass cap & rotor (also "bright red"). You'll go faster standing still & actually driving!

I dont like Chrome engine parts...

Chrome actually holds the heat in and is poor at heat transfer...places like valve covers are not a good place for chrome...polished aluminum would be a much better choice...
