I ran the Gold Cranes under the stock covers.......so yes.
The Comp Pro Mags will not however......
You will have to check for pushrod clearance in the head.
I had to clearance the Vortec's to clear.

one more thing I have noticed is that these are more narrow than the stockers quite a bit.

Haha none taken, I just said should to cover my *** incase something doesn't work out which I doubt. I don't know the part number on those rockers, but I'm sure if the pro mags fit under the stock covers with just the mods than those shouldn't be any differen't. If need be you can call up comp cams and find out if there is a size difference in them.

I have crane 1.52 roller tips and they work just fine with stock covers. I suspect that 1.6 will not be much different.
