Default Tall valve covers

Does anyone know if you can install the tall valve covers on the 454 mag mpi with the factory exuast manifolds.Going to a 1.8 roller going to need the clearance. Thanks for any and all input.

Not positive but I would think the angled version of the tall covers would work.

I have 2 pair for sale if interested. I know they have enough height to clear your valve train w/ 1.8 ratio. They are freshly bead blasted and ready for paint/powdercoating of your choice, cheap.

I have a decent set of Imco aluminum valve covers, could use a polishing or powdercoating. Cheaper than Ricks!!

Ha ha!!

I put roller rockers on my 502 mag MPI. I ground off the tits on the inside of the stock valve covers and installed thick cork valve cover gaskets. Worked like a champ. Regardless you will have to grind the corner off of two of the rockers (one intake on each side) due to clearance issues with the valve cover stud boss'.
