Default Need new valve covers

Now that I have installed roller rockers on a 92 Gen IV 502, the stock valve covers aren't tall enough. Can anyone give me any ideas as to what brand will work best with stock exhaust. Most of the automotive ones I have seen come up at 90 deg angle to the head and will hit the manifold.

Thanks.

Stock valve covers should work in most cases. You need to grind off the oil drip tabs on the underside and the edges of 2 rocker arms so they don't hit the baffles. You can also run a thicker gasket.

There is a compamy that makes spacers for stock covers. I can find their information when I get home for you. If interested, P.M. me.
