Yes they will. I have 1.7 Crane RR's. You just have to cut off the oil baffle.

Removing the oil baffle under the filler is not always a good idea. Some people have problems with oil consumption through the filler-to-TB line after removing the baffle. Read down towards the bottom of this thread for some info:

I have Crane 1.7`s with the valve cover baffle removed and no oil makes it`s way up.

Roller rockers,(at least these Crane) have smaller oil passages and don`t piss out oil like stock rockers.

It will totally depend on the rockers that you're using. My Trick Flows fit beneath my valve covers with the baffle removed but the Scorpions would not.

As for the baffle... There's not reason why you can't put your own baffle into the filler neck itself. I found that a couple of the screens from a meat grinder (yes... meat grinder), placed into the filler neck about 1/4 apart, works great. I'm sure there are lots of things you could find to tack weld into place to keep the oil splash under control.

put one of those clear type fuel filters in the hose between the t/b and valve cover hose, and you should be fine without the baffle.
