They are $50 or so. mdacton 01-10-2008, 07:46 PM you have to weld the heads a little where the threads need to go. Diminsion wise they are the same. The adapters leak teribble jshz28 01-10-2008, 07:51 PM cool cuz aluminum valve covers for lt1 are high for some reason, the sbc ones are not to bad whitehooptie 01-10-2008, 08:06 PM The adapters leak teribble Only if you don't put them on right. whitehooptie 01-10-2008, 08:07 PM Look on ebay and such.

The only thing you might consider a difference is the "clearance" for the alternator. jshz28 01-11-2008, 01:31 AM 87+ SBC and LT1 valvecovers are the same. The only thing you might consider a difference is the "clearance" for the alternator. i have mine relocated, but the 87+ sbc are center bolt VC whitehooptie 01-11-2008, 10:52 AM but the 87+ sbc are center bolt VC That's what I said. If the alternator is relocated, then you don't have any issues. Get some aftermarket centerbolt valvecovers. | ||
