Unfortunately no - The Lincoln Y-block is rare in itself and to the best of my knowledge it has never been kitted with the early style valve covers. 

Ironically the closest thing you'll find is the engine in AMT's ancient "Customizing Boat Kit", which features a hot-rodded Lincoln Y-block with the 1955-56 Continental style valve covers. The kit dates back to around 1959/60 so the engine is quite crude by todays standards, but it's a nice variation for engine-swapping the old AMT "Trophy Series" kits. 

A somewhat similar set of valve covers can be found in, AMT's 1925 Ford Model T Roadster, but the engine is a strange hybrid of Y-block and big block.
