The lowest profile aftermarket valve covers that fit roller rockers are actually the Trick Flow valve covers.

aftermarket stock height valve covers should clear as well. the stockers from a 94-95 are not the same height as the stock height as you would buy from wherever. foxbody valve covers will work too. the only issue is the alternator will be close to the passenger side cover, but it will work.

dude, do you know how to use the "." and the "?" to delimit your sentences?

what rockers did you use? the comp pro magnum rockers are low enough that stock valve covers clear them. then again, i have afr 205 heads, and i'm not sure if the ridge on them is the same height as stock heads or not.

Sorry for my improper grammar. I will try the stock height covers and see if they work. Will I still have problems with the covers hitting the alternator bracket if I get the trickflow covers? Thank you for all of your help

i apologize if my comment seemed harsh. it's just that it is really hard to follow what someone is saying when there is no punctuation. i promise that i'm not the grammar police.

The Trick Flow Valve Covers won't hit the alternator. The Fox valve covers usually won't clear with most aftermarket heads.
