Anyone know if old school stock stamped steel 302 rocker covers will clear Comp Pro Magum roller rockers?

Will they work if I take out the tin oil baffle?

I'm gonna stay with a plain looking engine compartment, in stock 82 gray paint.

like these ones? they dont hit the oil baffles but since the rockes are square they rub slightly in the front and rear, i took a grinder to my covers and it fixed the problem.

Thanks.

I was hoping someone would say something about the old school 289-302 steel ones. I actually have a set of aftermarket aluminum finned ones also, but I want to stay stealthy if I can.

Engine Might have to get a Dart block but don't want to and if I do, then 363 instead of 331. Thoughts on what I've already bought so far.......
