Dumb Question-valve cover

I am looking for another valve cover, the one that says OHC off a non turbo Z, I think they look cooler then the Turbo one I have now. The question is are all valve covers interchangable between any L-series motor? For examlple can I take a valve cover from say a 260z and throw on my car? My guess was that I could but I just want to be sure.

Thanks,
Rob

Hey want to swap, I will trade you straight across for your Turbo. Could you send me a pic?

All the L series valve covers are interchangeable. From the L24 to the L28. Plus you've got a trade right there.

Thanks for the help J.

Sounds good Wildman, sent you a PM

And one more stupid question I just got a new oil filler cap from MSA will that still fit?

Yeah it should, because I think the valve covers are pretty much the same. So I would imagine the oil caps would be no different. But don't quote me on this. Because I have never seen a Turbo Z up close.
