I test-fitted my cast-aluminum tall valve covers tonight and the damn things hit some of my rocker arms Rolling Eyes I'm running Canfield 23* SBC heads and full-roller aluminum 1.5 stud-mount rockers. |

Not necessarily a fabricated you can find a set of raised valve covers. Not familiar with SBC stuff myself... |

The covers are not hitting the top of the rocker arms, they're hitting the back of the rockers near the pushrod. |

You did get a new vavle train and heads right??? I agree then... 
Sounds like you might want to start pricing out sheet metal valve covers....

I just have tall cast aluminum ones on mine. I know you probably already checked, but I had to get 0.200 longer push rods. |
