Re: tall valve covers on smc in 61 dont fit
I think the Edelbrock valve covers are about the tallest valve cover made for the SBC. If they aren't touching or rubbing, you wouldn't have to change them. Just how close is the passenger side? You could probably massage the firewall slightly to gain a little extra clearance, and not many people would know.

I have the shorter version of the Edelbrock with no problems.
Is your alternator bracket long enough ? |

I havnt even tried the pass. side yet as it looks to be tighter near the firewall than the drivers side...drivers side is maybe 1/8th front the firewall.....alt bracket looks like it would clear just fine
