From summit... I'm assuming ANY centerbolt valve cover will fit?

If its going in a F-body then the answer is no, the passenger side cover must be clearance d to clear the altonator. Cover that will fit will be center bolt that specifically fir the f-body.

My bad, I meant to include the fact that I'll be relocating the alternator down lower with a relo bracket:

Dont bother... I bought those and then returned them because they didn't fit. Nice covers but they just dont fit. The tubes for the bolts are too long and they didn't sit right on the head. I could have cut the tubes down but the covers were still not fitting the rail very well. Search for my name and summit fabricated valve covers. You will find some pics I posted about them. They dont fit a LT1 head very well.

Thanks for the info... While in my search I've found better quality Canton's from VRE for cheaper

Yeah the cantons fit. If your already dropping the alternator you can get the standard SBC covers from Canton also to avoid any rocker interferance.

Personally I needed a cover like that to clear the Jessel SS shaft mounts I used. I ended up buying a set of used SBC fabbed covers here and then went out and bought some new hardware.

BTW, just incase you were still looking for some pics:

if you looking for fabbed covers for lt1s ebay has some pretty good deals. i dont think i would want a cover without breather holes tho especialy if its a hopped up motor that sees high rpms.
