Default Need help, will these fit!!

I'm was hoping to purchase these from a forum member but I can't seem to find out if these will fit. I have a 1995 LT1 coupe with a stock motor. I was looking to dress up the engine bay and thought these would look great. Being new to the vette world, I'm not sure that these will:

Fit my stock LT1 motor
Is there enough clearance of the rockers
Are the holes in the top of the covers just breathers, or is one an oil fill
Is $50 a good price for these

Thanks for the help the link to the part is below.

I don't think they will. primarily, aftermarket LT1 valve covers have to have a notch under the alternator bracket. The holes in those are for the PCV plumbing. They most likely would work on an L98. No oil fill so oil would have to added by pulling out a PCV grommet.

Might not be that great a price if you have to have any holes machined in. I was looking at some covers and they required machining for the extra hole that I needed.

Only if they are taller than stock; the stock covers are not notched for Alt clearance

rodj- so if the covers that the forum member is selling are the same height or taller, then they should fit. I also realize that addding oil would be thru the breather port (no big deal). And because mine is in winter storage, I can't verify the notch, but your saying there are none. Well thanks for all your help and if anyone else has something to add I'll verify height and go from there. Thanks again
