Valve cover issues

I'm having major issues getting valve covers to fit on the heads I have. The inside webbing of the valve cover does not clear the rocker arms, anyone have this problem and what valve covers should I go with. I have AFR 195cc CNC ported heads on my 396 lt1. My alternator is in its stock location so the passenger side valve cover needs to be notched out. I Would prefer the valve covers to be polished aluminum.

hmmm well as far as another valve cover im not sure with the alt in stock location although i believe i've found a thread about this a while ago when i was looking into rock arm and i believe if you dremel out the intake side of the valve cover webbing it should work, don't hold me to it though just thought i'd give you a response maybe someone else can back me up with that though

I'm assuming you're using the stock covers so I cut the long part of the valve cover like this and they fit perfectly with my rockers. Hope this helps (note that I googled this pic but it's the same thing I did):
