I am in need of some new valve covers for my 383. I want some chrome ones but they need to be taller than stock to pass the roller rocker poly locks. Any good places to get them for a resonable price? Will LT4 covers work, or are they the same as the LT1, which is the same as the L98. I tried a few on ebay but cant find anything that is taller than stock.

The LT4 valve covers are like the Corvette LT1 covers - plastic composite.
The LT1 F-Body valve covers are metal, similar to the 3rd Gen, but have a dent in the front of passenger side cover to clear the bottom of the alternator.
I think the nicest thing around are the polished aluminum covers.Fred

I like the polished aluminum valvecovers on street motors. There are a ton of people that sell the LT1 specific valve covers with the notch in the front of the passenger side valvecover.
I have quite a few links at home on my home PC. I will post them when I get home later. I even have a link for some carbon fiber LT1 specific valvecovers but they are big bucks I think.
