I'm doing final assembly of my fresh 357 for my Bronco this weekend and I need to know what valve covers I need. I am running the iron Topline heads and Crane Energizer 3/8 stud mount roller rockers. My heads have valves that are .100" longer than stock. Cam is a Comp. XE258HR which specs. out at .533/.544 lift with the 1.6 rockers I'm useing.

I'm really not interested in anything showy persay. Just need to know whats going to clear.

Would the factory aluminum 88-93 Mustang valve covers clear???? They are cheap and all over Ebay.

I also like these alum. finned ford motorsports covers, though they don't look any taller than the stockers.

Kind of hopeing I could make some of the stock stang covers work with maybe some thick gaskets or doubled up gaskets or something.

Please give me your thoughts as this will likely be the one thing that I'm waiting on before that first startup. Whats gonna work or how tall do ya think I'll need.

Thanks for any help/input.

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.......
