Surely some other body type has the alternator on the same side as a Vette, huh? And last but not least, how noticeable would a ball peen dent in the valve cover be under the alternator? (that's my inner redneck talking)
Edit:
ahh...I see now--PCV and oil cap in the RT and nothing in the left. A pic is worth a thousand words!

I thought about swapping the valve covers, but it wouldn involve more clearancing inside, which I wanted to avoid.
Managed to find a alternator at picknpull that fit without modificating. Its 105amp so should be enough for what I'm doing. Now that I know it fits, I'll pick up a rebuild kit and give it a coat of paint, it'll be like new.
