Tall valve covers for 496

Does anyone know of a tall valve cover for the 496? or maybe a spacer? Roller rockers and poly locks are hitting on mock up. Need about .300-.400" We really hope we don't have o move the coils.

The 502 MPI's have an "oiler" cast into the covers and has to me trimmed to allow clearance for roller rockers ...m

The Intakes hit the exhaust do not. For Cranes cut down the adjustment nut and set screw assembly by 50% of the actual hex head height and it will clear and still be enough to tighten.
