I've almost got my engine done, except for the alternator. It's having some issues fitting in the stock position, because of the valve covers coming to a point instead of going straight across. I've been trying to get ahold of a company to get a relocation bracket so I can keep my accessories, but to no avail. I've seen some ppl use tall valve covers and just dremel a portion on the back of the alternator to get it to fit, which I was thinking of doing, getting new valve covers and doing that. The only issue I have is I think I need the pointed valve covers, possibly, because of how much lift the cam uses, .628-.634.

Am I just not thinking correctly, and the tall valve covers would work with the dremel idea, or do I need to find that relocation bracket?

 

I'd check the dremel thing first if it will work. The relocation bracket from Summit - and it a nice setup - is nearly $200!!

 

Mod the valve covers to fit. Grinding the alt gives ya very little. The Canton covers come as close as any.
