Alternator valve cover interference. Frankenstein's alternator is hard against the valve cover. Anyone have a stock alternator they could measure from just behind the cooling fan to the back of the rear end bell? Mine's about 4 3/8" long.
Al 95 Z28, it's alive! GM AC compressor seals work on the steam pipe! The trick is waterproof valve grease to keep the banjo bolt from tearing up the rubber.

Well I got 5" 1/8ths, from the back to front not including the pulley just the cooling fan. There is a protuberance in the rear center which might get in the way of a taller cover? That makes it 5" 5/8ths long through the middle of the alternator, not including the pulley just fan.
Hope that helps.
EDIT: Noticed you said just BEFORE the fan, that would make it 4" 3/8ths long. Through the center It's about 5" 1/8ths, no fan.
