What Valve Covers To Use With Afr 227 Lt4 Heads??

What is a good cover that is tall and will clearance the outer rockers and also clearance the alternator? The heads are drilled for center bolt and perimeter bolt valve covers. The stock LT1 covers are not tall enough....the Melrose T-top aluminum dont clear the outer rockers (cc pro mag 1.6 7/16). What can I do?

Thanks

Tony

You can have RFR Custom Metal Fabrication build you a set like they did for me as seen here.

How much did those set you back? I'm assuming you provided the measurements to them?

I think the total for what I got was at $360. I did provide the measurements--but I believe he still has those and should be able to build a set from those.

RFR fabrications does have all the measurements still. The CNC shop is a month out on orders, so be ready to wait. Very nice covers and worth the wait for me!!
