I am getting my build put together and my tall edelbrock valve covers are about 1/16 of an inch from my AC heater box. Any suggestions for valve covers that will allow1.6 ratio roller rockers and give me some clearance?

 

I don't know, but that motor sure looks good...

 

The type that are angled or rounded on the ends might clear?

For example some proforms, still I had to cut n weld mine but that was a C4 Corvette and it was the wiper motor. Guy who did it just flipped the corner he cut off and tig welded it back on.

 

Valve covers don't give a rip about rocker ratio. All that does is, add a few .001"s of clearance on the intake side.

Stock tin ones will usually work fine. Might have to bend the oil drippers a bit to clear the Poly-Locks.

 

If you don't mind spending $400+, PML has mid-height covers.

I am running 1.6 arms under stock valve covers on my 92 z... Stock cam. Not full roller rockers though... Roller tip only.

 

Got these on eBay 3.25" and angled they fit good

 

That engine looks great

 

Thanks I am really happy I painted the intake manifold instead of leaving it bare aluminum
