LT1 Valve Covers!!!
Hey guys, as mentioned earlier in the thread, there really are no special covers needed. Any centerbolt valve cover will work. I got a pair of chrome covers at Checkers that work just great. They dont have the little dent for the alternator, but all you have to do is grind a tiny bit of the back side of the alternator case off. It harms nothing and is not even noticeable once mounted.
Although the cantons are a nice piece if you can afford them.

I know the OP said no Cantons but these look like they might clear the Alt.
I saw posts where people said they had to hammer them and they cost $300. Did they change the design and has the price come down?
It would be nice if they cleared my fuel rail covers. Anybody have them with FRC's and have to trim them to fit the Cantons!
I forgot how to link pics so you have to click the link...

Those have been modified to fit the LT1, not casted to fit it. You can see the welds where someone cut and welded them to fit, but it would work. I just dont like the look of Canton's...I have a thing for engine bay dress-up because my car is going to be more show than race.
I hear what your saying about show dress-up. I can tell you that the vette fuel rail covers go along way toward cleaning up the engine bay, add the composite vette valve covers and I think you would be very happy!

Dude... 12 year old thread. Google f-body junkyard. Probably your best bet. If you want traditional center bolt valve covers without the grinding you can see about a relocation bracket for the alternator. I don't have any specific links. Perhaps the sponsors on this site or google can help.
