Yes. But. . . They are beat up and leak like hell.

The 70 covers are out of stock, but here's the 71s. Pretty darn close....not sure of the difference.
Valve Covers | AMD 335-1071-BPK
I think I probably got the 70 covers when I did mine several years ago, but not sure. I added two plug wire brackets for the #7 wire, kinda like the 67 valve covers, because the headers don't allow for a nice, safe routing of that wire.
Anyway, it's the best $199 I've ever spent. The flange and bolt holes are perfect, not all bent up after 50 years of misuse. With a quality gasket and barely 80 inch-pounds of "tight", they sealed like Tupperware. Word of warning: If you go with these, they are FULL of metal chips and machining grime, especially under the splash shields. Full! Wash them good.

What’s the difference between the HP and standard 440 for ‘70?

Thanks a lot, Trace. I may just give these a go.
They don't come with any of the caps or grommets or screws, fyi.
The also don't come with shitty, beat up flanges and 50+ years of caked-on oil vapor varnish crud.

Subtle differences between the '70 and '71. No reason I can see that they wouldn't work, but visually there is a difference.
The aftermarket valve covers back in the 70's (probably Cal Custom) weren't the best and I'm actually surprised they have survived this long. Funny thing is we were bitching about that stuff being made in Japan....

And shitty, chipped, rusted blue paint that you'll have to remove.....They don't come with any of the caps or grommets or screws, fyi.
