what valve covers will fit
 
my engine still has the stock valve covers which are just hideous. im looking for new valve covers but i dont know which will fit under my holley intake. latemodel resto has sooooo many different kinds that i really dont know which ones to look for. thanks in advance for the help.

I always thought the canton ones looked nice, they state they fit under stock intakes

will those fit if i upgrade to roller rockers? i think whoever had the car before me put the stock rockers back on when they put the h/c/i on ><

says they clear most rockers

valve covers are a easy installation right? should i buy new valve cover gaskets also?

valve covers are simple, I suggest buying some ford reusable gaskets..

Valve covers
 
Rollers will not fit a stock cover unless you remove the oil fill baffle, but then that makes a whole other problem. Talls will not fit under a stock manifold unless you get an intake spacer kit to raise the plenum higher. plus most aftermarket covers have no provision for an ol fill you must make your own. Ford has a nice replacement cover for a 5.0 as does TFS and Canton.

its cake to get stock ones to clear RR's, I made my own baffle and it works fine.
