+1 for rockauto. i have ordered a lot from there. they usually have all the parts your local parts store would have but sometimes they are a lot cheaper. just have to keep an eye on where they are shipped from. if you can get them all shipped from 1 location you can save a crap load of money. you can even use a discount code and save 5%

that don't make a whole lot of sense. you don't want to put the old covers on the new engine? you can clean the stuff up and make it look brand new before you install it on the new engine. the only thing not worth trying to clean up is the exhaust manifolds. they will most likely rust again. i know i tried cleaning mine and painting them and they were rusting through the paint in less than 6 month and i had sandblasted down to bare metal and used paint that was suppose to be good up to 1200*F.

^I agree.

Rockauto may not sell them because the new parts are likely an arm, a leg and your first born child.
Just clean them up.

rockauto probably don't sell them because they never really wear out. valve and timing chain covers get dirty but they never really fail. exhaust manifold do sometimes crack or rust out but not too often. i would rather save the money and just swap the parts over. could also give them a coat of paint so they would match whatever color would make your truck look good.

Try EngineKitSource. 1-877-250-9672. Had EVERY part I needed to re-build the 4.7 HO in my old Grand Cherokee. I know they stock Hemi parts too.

VERY good pricing and service...
