After-Market Valve Covers??

Does anyone know of somewhere that makes after-market valve covers that i could buy? I've been looking around and from what i understand there isn't any valve covers made that don't require some machining. If anyone knows of where i could get some please let me know. Thanks!

Racenet sells a pretty nice chrome valve cover that will work on LT1/LT4 motors. It will fit under the alternator, and it has clearance for 1.6 rockers.

it is so unbelievably easy to clearance the alternator to use any centerbolt SBC valve cover. Do a search for it and you should find some good info

Well i've found some center bolt valve covers I like and would like to get. What all is required in making them fit without having to do any machining or notching? Please let me know or send me somewhere that may describe this. I've searched on here, but all i could find is posts that relocated the alternator, but they had to remove either the PS or the A/C. I don't want to remove either of these. Any suggestions?

Dont buy a thin valve cover. The metal it is made of needs to be thick. Or else it might get hot warp and cause leaks.

Well the ones i want to get are: Valve Covers. Do you think I will be able to get these to fit without a problem and that they are thick enough to where they won't warp or anything?
