I think those tinfoil valve covers will only go on one way.
I know youre going for stock, but I would look for something that will hold a gasket better.

I got a set of the expensive Fel Pro gaskets...I think they will seal pretty good...everything besides oem is just a little too much bling for me..
I too fear the bling; I avoid chrome or even shiny like the plague. But you can get aftermarket that isn't insanely blingy -- I think I have a set of these on my smallblock:

"These Proform stamped steel valve covers are made of heavy-gauge steel that is 20 percent thicker than typical aftermarket valve covers. This greatly reduces the likelihood of leakage around the valve cover flange area, caused by fasteners being overtorqued."
