Has anyone heard of or using aftermarket valve covers for the LT1 with Corvette accesoires??
I bought some aluminum ones off E-bay, had them chromed and they won't work with my Vette accessories!!!!!! Only F-body accesiores.
The problem is the valve covers I have are not intercahnable to where the alternator cut out will fit on the drivers side front. I would really like to have chrome covers instead of the black composite one's. Anyone heard of or have aftermarket valve covers with Corvette acciesoires??

 

Just get some Lt4 valve covers, other wise you need to have someone custom make you some.

Ugh, $324.

 

Nobody asked for a reiteration of the price.

 

And you think anyone wants to spend 324 for some freakin valve covers?

 

Being that he bought a set off ebay, which were probably about 100 or so, then had them chromed, which is probably another little chunk, i'd say he might be willing to, i'm quite sure it wasnt pasky asking for the set.

 

what a dick

 

Wow that is a lot. And they aren't even chrome just polished so you would have to maintain them.
I did spend about $90.00 for the covers the chroming I don't know as I did a bunch of stuff together at least $75 went towards the covers i'm sure. I have spent $550.00 in having parts chromed and powdercoated so far so I am a little crazy but $324. is just to much for covers I think.
Funny thing is those look just like the ones I have (minus chrome and those would fit ).
Thanx for the info I guess I will go with the black composite covers. I took a picture of the covers (now for sale) on the engine so you could see how well they turned out and why I wanted to stay with chrome ....but the picture is too big to attach. Anyone know how to "downsize" a j-peg???

 

David, E-mail it to me and I'll resize it for you.

 

Instead of buying new valve covers, you could try to relocate the alternator to a different location allowing you to run your current valve covers.

 

One thing I'm looking into for a future project of mine is using the alternator and powersteering mounts of the F-Body acc. bracket and using the A/C mount of the corvette acc. bracket, or something along those lines, to keep the bottom areas of the engine compartment clear. Looks like it could work pretty good, just might need a extra tensioner in strategic locations and a different belt.

Try this again.

 

Here they are available with the notch on the side of your choice, little less than the LPE's

You may also want to just pick out a set of other aftermarket covers and clearance for them, im not sure how far back the vette setup sits, but I was able to fit a set of GMPP covers with a negligible amount of clearancing on the back of my F body alternator.




ljnowell: nobody asked

 

here he is again

 

Well, at least you arent chiming in to tell him that some perimeter bolt valve covers will go right on, good thing you learned not to post your stupidity on what fits what, now its just useless crap.

 

weren't you warned in another post about flaming?

 

dont worry about him, he's just a hopeless ***. Wanders around looking for fights. I think he needs to get a life maybe a woman. High school does that to teenagers you know.

 

Ah the guy that knows jack about working on thirdgens shows that he also knows nil about judging people.

 

yep he knows jack. only owned one for 6 years. completely rebuilt entire car. Owned about 15 muscle cars, restored over half of them. doesnt know a damned thing. man you are one cool guy.

 

Z28*****, start some more sh*t, you are now ignored. guess you can talk you rubbish for everyone else now.

 

we all know you always post knowledgable information that helps everyone .....LMAO :yourock:
