92 LT1 Questions

I'm told that 1.6 roller rockers will not fit under 92-93 LT1 stock valve covers. Is that true for 92-93 Lt1s? I'm also told/read that to fit taller after market valve covers that I have to change my alt bracket for the 92-93 Lt1?? Last question, since I have a electric water pump on my LT1 can I run a double roller timing set for 86-91 sbc??
TIA, Bob

THANKS for your reply! So I will need a alt bracket from a 94-96 Corvette LT1 for taller valve covers. I think i will just replace them with a cover that are the same hight.

You'll need to upgrade to the Gen II opti setup to run a SBC double roller. The swap consists of: 95 timing cover, 95/96 opti, 95/96 opti wire and vaccuum harnesses, and another camshaft with a longer dowel and different hole for the opti.

On my 96, I went with the Proform valve covers but had to grind the alternator some to get them fit.

You are probably right, I was just saying that even if you use a later model bracket you might still have to do some grinding depending on what cover you go with.
