I'm 99% sure DSE motor is the same as the 1993 and up Camaro motor. The DSE motor arm is a bit longer to accomodate the fact the motor sits flat on the firewall instead of recessed like the original 1967 motor. The DSE motor is just mounted to a flat plate with holes to mount it to the firewall. The switch might be tricky. It's a seven position shaft switch made to work like the original 2 position switch. If you weren't concerned with all the intermittent funtionality you could probably get the stock switch to work the low and high function at least. I already checked with DSE and they will not sell the switch assembly separate. They must know how easy it would be to fab one of these yourself. The other thing to consider is you'd need a seperate washer pump.

That might work. Does anyone have a brand name for valve cover spacers?

Thanks for all the feedback guys! 
  I looked into the Detroit Speed wiper motor. Looks like a late model camaro wiper motor with a custom arm and a plate to adapt it to the firewall. I think I'll save a couple hundred bucks and hit the local Pick-n-Pull for a wiper motor and metal fab shop for some aluminum plate. Sounds like a fun project.

I recently ugraded my camaro's 396 with a solid roller cam, roller rockers, and a stud girdle. With that I need to run a tall vavle cover. The problem I've ran into is the wiper motor will not clear a tall cover. Does anyone have a solution for runnig tall vavle covers while retaining the wiper function? I did try clocking the motor to move it out of the way but the bolt pattern doesn't allow me to use all three mountng screws AND it throws the wiper position off a bunch. HELP!
