I purchased a set of used aluminum heads and the guy left a set of Scorpion 1.72 RR on. Will these fit under stock valve covers?

maybe possibly if you cut out the baffles and use taller valve cover gaskets...i did this to mine to clear some scorpion 1.6's and then oil leaked through the breathers..couldent run a PCV because it would suck oil in the intake, etc...a total PITA. Check ebay for budget tall valve covers i paid 65.00 for mine and i love em!(polished cast aluminum too)
