Ok where can i find some good chrome aftermarket valve covers? I bought some off of ebay and they were ****.

 

Jegs and summit racing have some nice ones

 

Go wtih after Market outer bolt valve covers. they look better

 

i checked around, but nobody sells covers specifically lt1 covers

 

I got these polished aluminum off ebay for under $100 and they're fine. Made by Wysco...

Proform also makes some. I believe Pace and Scroggins Dickey carries them. They're all fairly pricey at around $100 or so...

Are you looking for something that says LT1 on them?

Of course no one is going to sell Valve covers that are JUST for the LT1 A Small block Chevy is a Small block Chevy.

 

i realize but i need to get ones with the right holes on each side.

 

Trick Flow sells an Adapter that converts any center valve cover to outerbolts. So you can go out & find the right pair of covers for your car.
The only problem is you have to make a bracket for your alt. or it will not fit under your hood & you have to go with a smaller fan on the alt. as seen in this pic



TFS-31500811 Chevrolet: 1987-2002 305-350, for center-bolt heads, valve cover adapters $99.95

Make your valvetrain more versatile.

These Trick Flow valve cover adapters allow you to run early-style valve covers with your late-model Chevrolet's centerbolt heads. Plus, the adapters give you the option of running a stud girdle to increase valvetrain stability and improve overall performance. The adapters come with all necessary hardware and gaskets.

Sold in pairs.

 

I think what zachattack 45 is asking is doese anyone sell a valve cover for a LT1 engine for our cars. I am looking for some polished or chrome valve covers also.

I was on proforms web site they do sell center bolt valve covers but in their notes they said they will not fit 93-97 lt1 engines due to the fact the alternator bracket will be in the way.

So what kind of valve covers will fit with out having to fabricate a new alternator bracket?
What kind of valve covers is everyone using? any pics and any interference problems?

Thanks in advance, Scott

 

wysco does make them for the lt1. they are notched for our altnator. if you cant get them i can get them for you for $110+ shipping. they are chromed alum and fit crane gold 1.6 rr as thats what i have

 

Any of those SBC centerbolt valve covers should fit F-body LT1 configurations. All that is needed is to grind off a miniscule porting of the alternator on the back side. A search would bring up the thread about this modification and detailed pics of what needs to be ground off.
