I'm thinking stock (yours) is short and tall is for higher lift or larger rockers.
Why not just get yours chromed?

I think it's cheaper to just get a set already chromed from Topflight.

All small blocks were delivered with the short valve covers. Tall covers are only needed when using roller rocker arms.

And they look like cheap, aftermarket valve covers. I'm not a stickler for originality, but the Corvette valve covers are better looking.

Those finned valve covers you have would polish up nicely, and look almost chromed. I like those valve covers, polished or as cast...I think they look nice on a small block in any car, but...that's just me. 😁

Hello, I totally agree with Mr Apple. A little grease on the elbow, and some #4 steel wool, you'll be proud to lift the hood at any venue!
