OK here is my situation. I have AFR 185/61cc/stud. I have a Performer RPM 1 with a 3/8 spacer

I also have this camshaft from Probe:

Part # Int Exh Int Exh Int Exh Center
11503 .509 .532 300 309 222 232 112

And I have these rockers from Probe:

RATIO STUD SIZE OFFSET PART NUMBER
1.6 7/16 Standard 11274

These are my current valve covers:
Anderson ford p/n PKCVC


These are the valve covers I want:
FMS-M-6000-J302R


These are some pretty covers as well:
FMS-M-6000-K302R


With all the information I provided does it look like I would be able to swap covers with no problem?

Or if there is a problem can I still make the covers that I want fit with proper massage?

i dunno, but i can say this:

i have afr heads (205s) and comp pro magnum rockers. my stock valve covers fit over them.

i think the afr heads have fairly high ridges that the valve covers sit on.

grady has afr 165s and his rockers fit under fox body valve covers.

I guess by you saying RPM 1 that is the same upper I got ... the first one
Edelbrock released

I run Scorpion stud rr's which are pretty big

I run Fox covers and NO spacer

I could not say about any of those pretty VC's for sure

I was satisfied with the plain Fox VC's as you can't see much of them
anyway by the time you get everything bolted on the motor

I agree with grady...if you had a carbed setup it would be a different story....THeres really not much to look at or read once there on the car. I'd say stick with your chrome ones. But, if you must, I would think they would fit. Just ask call and ask FRPP if there meant to fit around RR's if it doesnt say so in the info.

yeah they will fit, the long tube valve cover may fit better on the passenger side but im pretty sure they will fit. i have the rpm2 and i got the edelbrock chrome covers and they fit fine.

i couldn't help but to notice that your running a meth injection on a N/A motor. I've never seen that before and was just wondering if you were able to get any significant power gains from it?

I run TFS standard height valve covers. They look great and clear my RPM intake with no space. They also cleared my Trick flow 1.7 rockers with no problem either.

Click to expand...

I have the MSD timing advance control box so I advance my timing like 10 degrees and hit the meth. the meth lets me kill any possible ping and run super advanced timing

Just a note on the Anderson covers. I have them and the breather does interfere with the strut tower brace. I had to take my strut tower brace off.

The Fox style covers will be a PITA to make work. The oil filler tube is in the wrong spot and they are also too tall.
