Valve cover options with comp mag 1.6's

What valve cover options do I have for a 96' 383 LT1 with comp magnum 1.6RR's? The only ones that I know will fit are the LT4's.

Stock. Cut a little bit of the baffle/reinforcement out and you're good to go.

I have the Proform covers. All modifications made were to grind boss off alternator.

Re: Valve cover options with comp mag 1.6's

I really don't want stock valve covers on a motor that has this kind of money going into it, where can i take a look at the proform valve covers. I'd like to find some nice looking covers that will fit w/o modification.

Re: Valve cover options with comp mag 1.6's

aren't the LT4 valve covers better for clearance and noise reduction?

No, Moroso's aluminum centerbolt work fine too. No mods necessary.
