well after finding out i actually have 1.7 roller rockers, i opted to get the correct height valve covers to clear them. I think they look pretty good, especially for the price! tell me what you think! there's more pics in the link. getting closer to my baby running again...i'm excited!

I hope for your sake you have a decent sized phenolic spacer…because I doubt your upper intake is not going to clear those covers.

The look nice though.

You may want to search the subject more…but I'm pretty sure the only thing most intakes will clear is either stock valve covers or the stock height Trick Flow covers. The stock covers can be made to clear 1.7 rr's by removing the baffle and doing some grinding…or the trick flow covers will fit as is. Keep in mind too you may have a hood clearance issue if you use a phenolic spacer…but am unsure on that one as well.
