Tall valve covers hit alternator

[cameron57]

Hi guys in the process of putting my 94 gt back together. Just did hci swap. Running in to some issues with my new tall valve covers. The alternator has a nipple on the back that hits. Is there a slim case alternator that anyone knows of that will fit without grinding? If not can what is the nipple on the back of the alternator can i cut it off

Thanks,
Cameron

either grind a little off the valve cover... or dimple it if you can... or place a small washer behind the ALT mounting points don't worry your belt will be fine...

I went a different route . I've got a fox supercharger assembly and march brackets for the rest

Thanks guys ive got a on3 kit that is next on the install list after i get the tranny built. But i just am ready to drive this thing again lol. I will try opals way if not i guess ill be buying a bracket of some sort.

They do make valve covers that will miss it but I don't have a link to any specifically

The valve covers that clear are big money , it's very easy to get them to clear , I had mid rise trickflows on my old setup

Don't fox cast alumnium valve covers fit?

I took some off the back of the alternator. running frpp vc's. never had a problem.

yes the fox's fit but you need to cut the baffles out of it to hopefully have enough clearance for the rockers under it. The set I have is a polished stamped steel set that I am about to replace. How fast do you need them?
