Need recommendations for small block Mopar "tall" valve covers that clear Comp Cams adjustable rockers on Edelbrock RPM heads. Prefer cast aluminum/fabricated aluminum with holes and baffles. Doesn't need to be anything fancy; its going in a drag car.
Also, would like warnings on valve covers to avoid (and why).

I purchase the Summit # 440421 valve covers, but they weren't tall enough.

Thanks.

I have the Mopar Performance cast valve covers on 2 of my cars. One has Edelbrock heads and 273 rockers, other has Trick Flows with Mancini Racing 1.6 rockers. They clear everything just fine. I use them with the rubber with steel core valve cover gaskets and they work great. Not sure Mopar makes the valve covers anymore but might be able to find a used set.

there is a guy on FeeBay that makes spacers for many engines. Billet aluminum. Just got a set for a Magnum 360. the guy's Ebay name is something like "RSDan29".
