I have the AFR 227 LT4 Heads. I cannot find valve cover to fit them ANYwhere. I have looked and looked. I even called AFR and asked. They used to carry them, but no longer do, and all they could tell me was to keep looking. They are perimeter bolt...but they need specail covers for them...they need to be for this head. Does anyone out here know of anywhere i might be able to pick some up???

Thanks alot,
T.

Scoggin D. has some that will work. They have to have the wider lip base for the gasket area to fit around the lip. I bought some a few years ago from them. They were the raised polished ones made by Proform. If you use them....you will have to clearence the back of your alternator if you still use the factory accessory bracket.

I was looking for a nice set of polished ones. Preferbly ones that do not say anything on them...justa nice smooth set of polished ones. So i would need some tall SBC covers then? They would fit? What height should i be looking at..as there are a bunch of SBC polished valve covers on ebay.

These work great buy you will have to relocate your alternator.

Plus these ones have no provisions for oil caps or anything. And i don't want to have to reoloacte my alternator if possible. Chech out the covers i linked. i especially like the last ones.

So then are we thinking that the last link i sent will fit? Also...will i have to move the alternator with these...i'm hoping not.

I can see the recess in them. They may work with a little grinding on your alternator. I think it will work.

How long did you guys wait for your AFR 227's to come in from AFR?????

I know I waited 16 weeks... UGGGGHHHHHH..... there must be some sweet LT1's going together since three ppl at once have 227's going on their rides.. I know about Tony's but SLP you care to elaborate on your setup???

And on mine I am going to relocate the alternator. looks much cleaner and eliminates the heavy factory bracket.....

The factory accessory bracket is aluminum and weighs about 3 lbs total. Not too heavy.

None of those valvecovers will fit with the alternator in the stock location. Here is a pic of what I'm running.
