BBC Valve covers
What are y'all using for valve covers. I bought a set of Edelbrock Elite (only come in tall) and they won't clear the brake booster.
I am using the BBC frame horns and motor mounts. I'd really prefer Aluminum covers... |

My Wife and Kids bought these for me for Fathers Day. There not all that tall, They clear the roller rockers BUT I havent put the motor in yet so I cant say they clear the booster. Sure hope they do
They bought them from the www.truckandcarshop.com

Sorry the pic is big
 I used the ol' stock chevy orange valve covers on my chevelle's BB. Used double gaskets to clear the roller valvetrain, works great.

I have the tall Chevrolet series on my big block with the motor sitting on the small block towers and don't have any clearance problems at the booster...

I like the vintage finned rockers like Cal Customs. These are currently listed on ebay. Not the best of shape which is why they are currently only $20. But you get the picture on what they look like.
