Valve Cover Problems
So I am trying to finish up my install. 350 with intake etc.
For starters were trying to retain the factory ac. It took some fabricating due to using after market headers. Now I go tonight to put on belts and realize that both the alternator and AC compressor are hitting on the valve covers. As a result I cant get either belt on. I could probably go up a size on the alternator and still have enough adjustment but do not see how I will get the AC... The valve covers are not really tall just tall enough to clear the roller rockers. What can I do? Any thoughts?

Re: Valve Cover Problems
That's a common problem with taller valve covers and very solvable. Lets see what you have.
