Yes, they clear with Indy EZ heads, Hughes 1.6 and 1.5 rockers with the B3 geometry correction kit that raises the shafts a little and offsets them towards the intake side.
(edit...just noticed you were asking about victor heads)

I have Victors, too. If my no-logo Indy cast covers have rocker clearance issues, I think my next option will be the 440 Source fabricated vc. I don't like those covers that use the long bolts through tubes for the main four fasteners. The 440 source is what I ended up getting to replace the KMJ junk.

Kmj is one of th main suppliers on ebay for those valve covers, I have a set on my iron headed 400bb, but I had to have my machine shop flatten them on the big belt sander, they were both 1/8 warped not flat lol
The answers are out there you just got to look hard enough

they are on the way. I will fit them this weekend and see how good or bad they are. I have another set on backorder that are sheet metal with carbon fiber film. Any idea what brand you ordered? I checked out eBay tonight and saw a lot of people selling what looked like only a few different styles. I wonder how many companies are making basically the same thing, or if there is only one manufacturer of each style and many people selling the same stuff at way different prices?
