Default Aluminum Chrome valve covers on ebay: will they fit a LT1 Corvette?

With the replacement of my stock rocker arms scheduled I was thinking that this would be a good time to replace my OEM valve covers with a chrome set found on Ebay, there currently being sold by KJM Performance, item #380171687107 and the buy now price is $87.00+ free shipping. But my question is will they fit a Corvette? they claim their notched to accomdate the LT1 alternator bracket, but I just don't know, but if you do know weather these will fit I'd like to hear from you before I spend a $100.
thanks boonie

Ask that Ebay seller if they will actually fit on a LT-1 C4 Corvette.

I like the ball milled set that the seller has.

I said the heck with it and ordered a set.

Looks like those will work. Might need to check clearance if you run roller rockers and your oil fill will now be on the drivers side. Why not run the proforms?
