C3.....LT1 Valve covers question

[bruce11495]

Has anyone installed roller rocker arms under these valve covers? If so, what brand did you use?

Re: C3.....LT1 Valve covers question

Bruce GM sells valve cover adapters that fit under your LT-1 valve covers that will give the clearance for full roller rockers. Your current valve covers will allow installation of roller tipped rockers. The adapters are listed in the GM Performance catalog part #24502540. These valve cover adapters just raise the height of your valve covers and can also be used to install valve covers like your aluminum LT-1 valve covers on the Chevrolet ZZ crate engines using heads with center bolt style heads. So, you could install a pair of centerbolt aluminum heads on your LT-1 and still use your original valve covers.

Thanks,... that's a route I hadn't thought of. I'm just concerned that I'd have to modify the covers inside with the removal of the drippers for clearance.I didn't want to have to do that........

Can you put rollers under steel covers on a 71? *NM*
