Valve Covers!

I am curious...I am looking to put some valve covers on my LT1 Camaro, something nice to match the theme I will be doing with it. Will any late model SB350 alve covers work for my LT1, or do they have to be SPECIFICALLY for LT1??

If you dont mind a bit of toying around you can modify some to fit.

if you can mount your alt low any set of center-bolt valve covers may fit.

Here's the Canton's on my setup. I still need to clearance the passenger side cover a little to clear the rocker arm. The Comp Pro-Mags have a pretty fat body so depending on which rockers you have you may not have to do anything. These still have the notch for the alternator also.

I had the cantons too. mine were a pain in the *** to seal though for some reason. They leaked bad. I think whoever fabbed them smoked a big one before he made mine.
