If both rocker cover gaskets have just suddnly 'gone', I would suspect overpressorerisation somewhere! Clean out all the breathers on the engine.
Check if you are getting back pressure through the sump. You will need to cure this first if you have. Spares are available from Bristol Cars, via Brian Marelli.If not try ACCS or Real Steel.
They should all be able to help

For v8 spares RODLEY MOTORS Bradford are still going
I bought a new geared starter motor for 411 s5 about 30 years ago
£40 they gave me a chrysler workshop manual as well--I'm sure they
are as helpful now as they were then.
Where is my old car now anyone know reg Q42 GBG
also 408 reg FPF 730B KJ

You can allways find spares for the engine and gearbox in the US. Plenty and cheap.
