I believe ALL 400 & larger displacement engines built from 65-70 came with chrome valve covers from the factory...

They re-appeared again in 77-79 with the W72 T/A 6.6 engine upgrade....(hardchrome...not polished)

I'm sure the dealers parts departments would sell you a set over the counter to dress up your 71 & newer engine compartments
