Take a look at the 440source ones. I happen to have a set and Tom Hemphill told me they work great

I also hate the B1 cast covers.
I am pretty sure that I will be able to make my M/T cast aluminum covers work with my new B1 MC heads, but won't know for sure for a few more months. Its been a lot of work to make them fit.

But if you want a sheetmetal set that fits, supposedly these are the way to go for B1 MC (and standard B1) heads but not cheap at $600. http://www.billetfab.com/

Pittsburgracer's pictures of the 440source valve covers seem to show that there is a lot of room, internally, to accomodate a variety of rocker arm/valve train arrangements, and cost effective as well. Cover sidewalls seem to be set at the outer portion of the gasket rail, freeing up a lot of room for rockers. They appear to be just what I'm looking for. Thanks for posting the pics. Bill I have the 440 source sheetmetal ones in the pics. They are great. Fit over T and D rockers, and they don't leak. As expected slight grinding in the distributor area but that's it.

Bill Glad I could help. When I dropped my 572 in my Duster I had to use the valve covers that came with the B1 heads because of master cylinder clearance. I now have everything to move the master cylinder over and will do so after race season is over.
