i don't think so, but i think any gen 1 SBC valve covers with 4 center mount bolts work. that means anything mid 80s on up i think as i had an 83 T/A 305 that had 4 perimeter bolts rather than the 4 in the middle of the valve cover.
*edit*
just checked ebay and found this pic of aftermarket LS1 valve covers. no way those are fitting on an LT1. while they appear to have the same mounting holes, the shape of the valve cover itself is different. LT1's don't have rounded corners like that.

For aftermarket VC's you can use standard sized ones if you grind a bit on the alternator. This is risky because it's dangerously close to some bolt or screw that is on the inside of the alternator. If the aftermarket VC's are stamped steel you can bang on them a bit to clear the alternator. It's been done countless times.

I liked the look of the Proform black crinkle VCs, but they don't clear the alternator. No problem, I thought, as I had access to a Bridgeport mill, and could machine a notch in the VC to clear the alternator. I then made a cover to clear the notch, welded it in place, shot the cover with black crinkle paint, and slipped them on.
What a waste of time and money..... The VCs just wouldn't stay tight, as the tops of them are made of a thin material, and flat, with no ribs for support. I wound up "snugging" the bolts every other day, in an effort to stop them from leaking, and after a month or so, the tops were warped inward, and the VCs useless.
They DID look great, however, while they lasted....
