Question about the stock Valve covers?

Will any Center line bolt pattern valve covers work on a LT1?

For instance can I snag a set of valve covers off a 90's truck with a 350 and use them on my car? I am in the process of putting my motor back together and one of my Valve covers seem to have been crushed (dont ask!) so I am looking for a cheap replacement.

Thanks

Yes, You'll have no problem on the drivers side, but on the pass side you'll have to modify the Alternator to fit over the valvecover.

I'm not 100% sure but I believe any other centerbolt valve cover may interfere with the alt. placement on the pass. side valve cover, on the drivers side probably doesn't matter.

Ahhhh, thanks guys, I crushed the Drivers side valve cover so i still have the Passenger side still intact. So that opens my options up a bit, though one junk yard wanted $50 on a used set off a truck. I told him to stick it!
