Broke out the new AFR 210s I sent to Lloyd, straight from the seller, to port and set up and, it turns out that they have the bolt locations along the side, instead down the center.

Anyone have any suggestions for a set of outside bolt LT1 Valve covers, using the standard Acc. setup?

My AFRs are setup for both center and perimeter bolt...I plan on going perimeter cuz it gives more clearance for my shaftmounts...and looks badass. I don't know of any that will clear the stock alt out of the box though...but it shouldn't be hard or expensive for a shop to chop a small piece the corner off and weld it inverted - just trim the alt as much as you can and measure, then let em know how much you need.

I know you can convert from center to perimeter, but not sure if its possible for it to be done the other way and have them drilled for centerbolt VCs, or if it'd even be worth it.

Thanks Puck... I found an old set of M/T side bolt covers in the shop and might send them out for some fab work and powder coat ... I appreciate the input, as always.

Just plug the top holes and drill holds on the sides for perimeter.

Hmmm.... It seems so simple. Could it be that easy?

My AFR head have both, I used the outside bolts, short alluminum covers and ordered a smaller chrome ford alternator from summit. Looks good and worked great.

In theroy all you have to do is say take a perimeter valve cover gasket as a templet, mark the holes, drill the holes, and then install.

He already has perimeter bolt cylinder heads, he is looking for valve covers to match that clear that alt - which AFAIK there are none pre-made.

I would just run the perimeter ones and notch them for the alt, grind the alt, or get a smaller alt.

Or run the alternator down low.

Or buy a valve cover for a lt1 and do what i said. Or do what snm said n run a low hung alternator
