Default Need advise on Valve Cover Options?

Guys/Gals,

I'd like to change out my stockers as I have been fighting leaks on these things for over 3 years (base flange and centerbolts). I'd really like to get my hands on a set of Corvette Composites (LT4 style) but they are hard as hell to find. What other options are out there that look nice and aren't prone to leaking?

I don't want the Cantons as they are too tall to work with my FRC's. I've found these on ebay as they look nice and have the Alt cutout as well. What you think and any other recc's?

I'm running the valve covers you linked to. The only complaint I have is that the bolts that they came with seem a little soft, and it's easy to round the heads a little bit.

Other than that, they're great. The don't leak, look good, and were pretty cheap.

Good news, was the alternator cut out done properly and does it clear well?

It cleared without any issues and some room to spare.

They do look nice!!!! Do you run roller rockers and what ratio? I have Crane Golds (1.6's) and want to make sure there is no clearance issues?
