Who makes adapters to run old style valve covers on LT1

how makes adapters to run old style valve covers on a LT1 motor. I have changed my setup and im runing a solid roller cam and used .100 longer vavles and now my B&B valve covers will not fit. i have seen a few pics of guys runing tall old stlye vavle covers so something has to be out there.

The perimeter bolt conversions for the center bolt heads that I have seen ALL leak like seives. You can get centerbolt covers like the Moroso aluminum sheet metal ones that are tall enough for a set of Jesel or T&D shaft rockers.... no need for the perimeter bolt conversion. You do need to find one with the alternator dimple if you still have it in the stock location. Or you can have a shop cut and weld for clearance.
