stock valve cover fit

[73pony]

Anyone know if my stock valve covers will still fit? Aussie 2v heads with screw in studs and trick flow 1.73 roller rockers.

I suppose it depends more on the overall operating height & clearance needs of the rocker arms.

FWIW - I installed a set of Edelbrock chrome valve covers, that are pretty much the same size and shape of the factory 351C valve covers, and my stud-mounted roller rockers fit just fine. ::thumb::

I have a set of Harland sharp 1.73 roller rockers, screw in studs, and all the goodies.... my stock valve covers fit. I powder coated them silver. I have AFD aluminum 4v heads but they also fit when I had my 2v factory heads.

Those look nice! I like it. I will try to mock up some of the rocker arms tonight and get some measurements as I would prefer to keep my stock ones.

They should fit, but if there are baffles inside, they may interfere. Baffles can be removed . . . but that may allow the PCV system to suck some oil as there is nothing to keep the splash of oil from hitting the underside of the valve.

Well Geez - since we're showing off, and stuff. :whistling:

Mine still have the baffles in.
