I haven't tried to fit them yet, but will my stock 1990 5.0 Valve covers clear my harland sharp 1.6 rockers? I have heard yes and no. If they do not fit which aftermarket covers should I go with? Do I need ones that are higher? And do I have to worry about clearance on the intake manifold. I'm running a GT40. Thanks.

if im not mistaken, they work if u remove the baffle.

maybe i'm thinking 1.7's which mean ur's will work with nothing. but maybe remove the baffle to be sure
