what valve covers to use?

Im doing a 383 with AFR heads for my 89 RS. Problem is the valve covers. I have the comp cams magnum stainless roller rockers, 1.6 ratio, 3/8" stud and of course the stock valve covers won't fit. The baffles won't clear the rockers and also rub on the bolt stands. What stock valve cover can use? what after market valve cover works? Im trying to keep it stock looking.

any "tall" valve cover should work.
