I'm getting ready to install a Trickflow Street intake manifold and BBK valve covers. My question is: Will the valve covers fit under the (BBK 75mm) TB without any problem? Or do I need to get a spacer to put between the upper and lower manifold? If I have to get one, will the intake still fit under the stock hood?

are they standard height valve covers or tall?

if they are tall, youll need some sort of spacer. i have standard valve covers and an edelbrock performer intake and the clearance is very close. not sure how much higher or lower the tf intake is.

It's hard to say if they will clear or not. You are just going to have to mock it up and try it out. If you have to get a spacer then you might have clearence issues with the hood, but again it is hard to tell due to the differences in cars, slight differenes in motor mounts could either make it work or not. You will really just have to try it.

Trick Flow makes both black and silver valve covers that come in both standard size and tall. Personally I think the Trick Flow ones would look better with ur Trick Flow intake. I think the Trick Flow covers are cheaper too.
