Buy the adapters for the heads. They are $50 or so.

you have to weld the heads a little where the threads need to go. Diminsion wise they are the same.

The adapters leak teribble

87+ SBC and LT1 valvecovers are the same. The only thing you might consider a difference is the "clearance" for the alternator.

That's what I said. If the alternator is relocated, then you don't have any issues. Get some aftermarket centerbolt valvecovers.
