302 retro valve covers

I would like to find some 302 retro valve covers for my 1980 era 302. I would like to make the motor look older than it really is by putting on a vintage air cleaner, complete with decals and older valve covers. Any good sources?

What, you want to make look like a '65 or something? (289 look). Hit the junk yard and get some Ford gold engine paint.

Who's going to know--you got no hood or something?

Edelbrock also. I believe they did some for Shelby back in the day. You could also use 86 to 93 5.0 covers and be creative with some paint. But just painting some stock Powered by Ford covers with some chrome breathers and such might do the trick.
