I found this Hemi in a bunch of old parts, and I'm using it on a build I'm doing...but anyone know which kit this thing came from?

Interestingly, I stripped the chrome on those rocker covers and the plastic underneath was yellow rather than orange so they may not be the right ones for this engine...any clues anyone?

Only Revell comes to mind as this has the look of an old Ford F E engine block look to it . Even then, I'm only 50% sure .....

That's a mix of parts.  The valve covers don't go with the engine.

Ohhhh, interesting....I assumed it was a Hemi from the valve covers, but apparently not!  No wonder I couldn't find a reference pic of a Hemi that matched it :D

Not 100% sure, but I think that block is from an old Lindberg hot rod kit, an early hemi, perhaps the one that was in their  "32 Ford Roadster". It's got a molded in distributor and intake, and look's like it was poorly cribbed from an old Trophy Series AMT kit. A hallmark sign of those Lindberg kits.
