You'd have to clearance the pass. side one for the alternator or relocate the alternator for them to fit an F-body LT1.
EDIT: DOH, nevermind, I see they're specifically for our cars and are cut to clear the alternator already.
Nice find!!!

Heres some pretty nice valvecovers, My brother has there jet hot LT's for his c6 and they are super nice, So I imagine the valvcovers are high quality as well.

I had a set of those melrose t-tops covers. They suck in my opinion. Always had leaks. They dont fit AFR heads well due to the AFR's having wide cover rails. Ended up going with some fabbed up ones.

Can you believe that "Melrose T-tops" actually claims their valve covers increase horsepower? Click on that link above, then go to the valvecovers and read:
" -Maintains valve clearance consistency.
-Increases horsepower at high R.P.M.
-Increases rigidity of valvetrain.
-Tests show an increase of torque and gains of 700 R.P.M. "
