Default 93 Camaro LT1 1.6 Roller Rockers / Valve Cover Question

I just got Summit 1.6 roller rockers for me 93 Z28 (LT1) and have done some web surfing and learned that they might not fit under my factory valve covers. I've searched, but it's difficult finding inexpensive tall valve covers that fit this car (has to have a notch for the altenator).

Can anyone tell me if they will fit, I'm sure someone out there has put the Summit 1.6 roller rockers on their LT1. Also, if they don't fit, can I easily modify the factory valve cover? If not, can someone suggest a link to a cheap set of covers to work?

Thanks!!!

pretty sure the aluminum self cenrtering rockers need bigger covers but u may be able to use stock ones with some cutting. doesnt say that in summits reveiw though. give summit a call and ask em.
