Default 5.0 Valve Cover Clearance

The right side valve cover on my 5.0 was busted by the brake booster being slammed into it. I went to lkq and got a new valve cover off of a v8 thunderbird but its totally different then whats on my 302. Im worried the rocker arms are gonna hit the top of it. Anyone know if this valve cover will work right?









Its fits with no problem but i still wanted to ask...

Thats the same vlv cover that comes stock on SN cars and was the ONLY one that would clear with my setup!!!! i have stud mount rockers with no clearance issues. my clearance issue was the TB elbow hitting the vlv cover though which was fixed by a nitrous plate.
