Valve Covers For LT1 does anyone happen to know where i can get a set of black chevy logo valve covers for a lt1? i have found just about every other kind except for what im looking for. any help would be greatly apprciated.
Those wont clear the alternator, tried them. Summit sells a set of canton lt1 camaro valve covers but no logo and they are raw aluminum. You can powder coat them though and a logo maybe. Or you can go the hard route and relocate your alternator.
Good luck.

I have those Proforms, they fit fine. I did have to grind a spot on back of the alt. for clearance, nothing major. 15 min. fix. You "don't" have to relocate the alt. and no isuses with 1.6 rockers since they are a bit taller.

well thats awesome then. imma make em fit then. its the style i like and if its a 15 min fit thats great. my factories fit my 1.6 rockers so i shouldnt have clearence issues with these.
just make sure you dont over tighten those center bolts break easy(dont ask me how I know
)oh if your alternater is not relocated like mine you might need to spend 15 min or so to gring a chunk off the alternater

Ebay Valve Covers 
Theses are awesome i have these i had had them powder coated, ill get a pic up of them tomorrow they clear everything, i had to clearance them a hair for the alt. but no big deal. i siliconed the gaskets to the v-covers... otherwise have fun sealing it properly
Its the alternator you run in to issues with, but from the last thread, you can notch the alternator. I wish speed specialty still made their alt relocation, then it wouldnt matter what valve cover you used.
