Sonic,
We cast a set that is .500" taller and clears the rockers. Sterling, Rexmarine, Crockett are all dealers of ours.

Paul,
We can put anything into the valve cover. . .oil fills, breathers, PCV holes, . . .would be lead time because we are busy. You can buy the breathers and oil fill cap and have a local shop install.

I also ran into the same deal...I went with the moroso valve covers....They are made with extra clearance for rockers. I have used the Comp Cams roller rockers and now Crane Gold. No problems. I bought mine at Jegs. Kinda pricey buy Top quality...

When I ran those centerbolt covers with crane gold roller rockers I was able to cut some of the supports out of the stock covers and they fit fine. Just have to use narrow bodied rockers.

Here you go. I don't need to remove the exhaust to get them off either. Like I said they are pricey but VERY High quality.http://www.jegs.com//cgi-bin/ncommer...73&prmenbr=361
