Default These Vavle covers

Anybody Have the Valve covers?
They are 2" taller, only the question is will they clear the Back of the Altenators on our cars?

If you look in your Jegs magazine they sell them in the LT1/LS1 section. Youd think they were already modified, but it doesnt look like it in the picure.

I've got some polished B&B ones with alternator clearance for sale. They won't clear a stud girdle, but are plenty tall for the rockers.

Looking for $100 w/ oil cap, 1 K&N breather on each, and Felpro blue silicone rubber gaskets RTV'd to the cover, and allan head bolts.

There are pictures of the notched side here. I don't have much time today and only had enough time to give one cover a quick rub out, they've been used for mock up only and had/have some greasy fingerprints on them. I can get a pic of the other cover if you want, but it's basically the same with no notch, and a factory oil cap opposite the breather.

Thats funny, I just found those on Ebay for sale and bought the exact same set before you even posted. Total shipped to my door was $101 although I dont think it included the breather or gaskets.
I am curious now why your getting rid of them though, did they seal good?

I hope you guys find this useful. It is an easy mod and you can use just about any valve covers you want, it would seem. http://web.camaross.com/forums/showthread.php?t=218821

I'm selling them because they came with a new engine I bought, and I already have fabbed valve covers to clear my stud girdle and have -AN fittings welded on them.

That won't work for the tall covers listed...unless you want to cut the rear bearing off the alernator
