Question on the GM chevy black valve covers

Im talking about the GM chevy valve covers that are black and they say chevrolet in red. Do they fit even with the alternator on the passanger side coming back to far? If they dont fit, other than alt. reloc. bracket, what could I do? Thanks

You CAN grind down the valve covers but I don't like that idea personally.
