409 valve covers look a bit like a W, and really don't look like any other valve covers, other than their little brother, the 348.

Unfortunately the 409 truck block is quite a bit different than the passenger car block, with large reliefs at the top of the bore to lower compression ratio. I don't know if the truck crank might be the same as the car crank, but I suspect that it is heavier. And the heads would not be the large port high performance car models. Still, you might find someone who really wants it, but I wouldn't expect to make big money on it like you might with a true high performance car 409. Good luck!
