They've been out for a long time. I had a set on my old truck like 5 years ago.

Yup those have been out for over 10 years, but as stated they won't work with out mods as the pass side does not have the dimple or relief for the alternator as your stockers.

That's pretty beat to install them like that with the Open PVC and hacking the Alt up, there are numerous LT1 specific ones avail, not sure why you'd want that old school look of chrome/stripes when the rest of the stuff isn't like that, the pic above there's a ton of detail in the powdercoated WP, alt front brackets etc.. why you'd then cheap out with those VC is beyond me.... get the Ebay polished alum ones if ur going the bling bling route..... 2 each their own I guess.??

Well you can't run the Composite covers that came on a lot of Vettes w/o doing that. And you're not "hacking it up", at least not how you make it sound. You're just grinding part of it down, similar to the calipers to fit inside the 15" WELD rims (pro stars I think), where it's just the fins on top. So I'd rather do that on a nice set that doesn't specifically fit F-Body cars, than mod or beat the cover in I sure as hell wouldn't mod the Composites, and you can't beat them to fit lol Well, not with out breaking them at least.

My LT1 composite covers fit without any grinding, where did you find some that didn't fit?

Like what "a lot of Vettes..."? Specifically what year Vettes do you type of?

Someone else here, who I don't remember anymore due to it being a thread from over a year ago, sorry.


Specifically? Don't know a span of years. 96 LT4s and (supposedly) M6s came with them, My friend's 94 has them and AC's Vette had them, not sure what year his was w/o digging. So that's 2 for sure, possibly 3. Not just 96s like I originally thought. And to squelch what you may be thinking about my friend's 94, he bought it from the original owner who kept it completely stock except for the Skip Shift Eliminator.

Honestly I'm not quite sure what you are trying to squelch. What I read is you stating you have to grind on the alternator in order to use composite valve covers "that came on a lot of Vettes..."
Do you hold this to be true or not?

According to a couple resident know-it-alls (none of which are in my sig), F-Body and Vette accessory backets are different. So to use Composite VCs that came on the Vettes (or pretty much any standard hight centerbolt VC) you either have to modify the covers, grind down the Alt ear or change it's clock position. Now if the Composites DO fit w/ no modding to anything, as in Low N Slow's case, awesome! Yet as I said, I remember reading a thread where a few people had to and also had mentioned needing to. We could very well be looking at a "6 of 1, 1/2 a dozen of the other" case.

Now as to what I was trying to squelch, just the thought you may have been having that the 94 Vette my friend has that came with those Composites, may not have originally came with them. In reference to me using it as an example for the "that came on a lot of Vettes" that you keep bringing up. Which I'm not sure what the quote, or Vettes, has to do with the necessity of some sort of modification for fitment.

This quote:
Which was in reference to this:
Which is wrong at least for LT4 composite valve covers. No "hacking" necessary.
I know the LT4 composite valve covers are not high profile and will fit any LT1 f-body just fine. I have no idea about the LT1 valve covers, but they are supposedly identical to the LT4's except for some of the reinforcement webbing inside. The LT4's have more clearance on the inside to make way for Crane Gold rockers.

Formula mine was a 95.Im Pissed i didnt take them off b4 I sold it. When I did take one off it was smooth on the inside and had no bracing. I know for a fact the orig owner didnt put LT4s on it. He prob never even popped the hood himself.

I ran these on my LT1 before I tore it down. I did not have to grind the alternator. I got a ball peen hammer and had to tap the valve cover in about 1/8th of an inch for the alternator to go on, it made a little cosmetic blemish on the cover from hitting it with the hammer but it wasn't visible with the alternator installed. Those valve covers have a slight slant at the ends they are not straight up and down.

way to just toss the original posters ??/topic in the garbage just to once again trash another members bad info posting... I mean isn't that the point of all this forum nonsense we can all just write whatever we want, based on fact/fiction/experience/lies/etc//// if you wanted solid info shouldn't you get it from a dealership, or something like a FSM????

Did the inside look like this?


Who is this directed to, and a dealership? Are you serious...
