It appears that my factory 69 valve covers will not clear the 1.6 rockers/W2 heads on my freshly built 408. Does any one know if these "Direct Connection" covers will clear the rockers? Anyone have any other suggestions? Want to stay away from the ribbed Mopar Performance covers. I like these DC ones and also like the fabbed look which I would paint to match the motor.
Thanks

Out of interest, what rockers are you running?
And are they econo W2s or race?

Anyway, if you wanted to keep the stock covers for a stealth look, or if you are just thrifty, try spacers from member topside
