Cantons look nice and will clear prety much anything.
Make sure you use cork gaskets though, the stock rubber ones don't seal properly.
The good news is that they clear the factory alt, while some other center bolt options do not.

I switched to the AFR tall valve covers. Even though the AFR heads have provisions for both center and perimeter bolt covers, the AFR covers themselves are perimeter bolt. Oh, and these won't fit with the alternator in the stock location. I have a Speed Inc. ALT+PS relocation bracket.

I dont want to Hijack your thread but what are the valve covers you recommend when your getting some tick from the rockers on the screw slot? Ive heard the composite LT4 chevy sovers at jegs. I love those canton covers btw.
