corvette valve covers
corvette valve covers I have a 95z and I want to know if I can put on the black composite corvette valve covers on my LT1. Will anything get in the way. Thanks for the help 
The passenger side valve cover may be a problem. The alternator for the F-bodies is mounted on the passenger side and the valve cover has a depression to clear the alternator. The alternator on the Vettes is mounted on the driver's side and as I recall, the valve cover did not have any depression to clear the alternator.

Never had any issues at all with the Vette covers until the girdle.
I had to trim the drip tabs of to get mine to clearance the Comp Cams Pro Mag 1.6/1 rockers. I could not get the valve cover to fit other wise. This was on my 1992 Vette.

I have LT4 heads, if that makes any difference. I would not expect any. I used them on mine until the middle of this past summer. Never had to trim anything to ge them to work.

Thats awesome! It was a real PITA to cut those drip tabs off.
