check first, Indy has a unique head size/bolt pattern -their valve covers are wider. not the same as std head to the best of my knowledge. plenty of options for std or cast valve covers out there.

I have INDY valve covers on my stock heads. They fit fine. In fact, I have their version that clears the factory shock towers.

why some covers don't fit well. It's the oevrall size not pattern that often causes problems when checking valve covers you will find two types. those built in the inside edge or outside edge or the gasket. for example KB or Stage v follow the inside. you can tell by the location of the bolt hole being down low on the covers Some sheet covers like Moroso have followed the outside of the gasket for overall size. Their bolts are high on the cover requiring 4 or 5 inch bolts.These covers are very wide.Some like Williams use recessed bolt holes. Indy covers are a combination. they follow the outside of the gasket but their holes are recessed. here's a Moroso next to the dark Stage V . you would be surprised to see how much more room the stage v offers  Moroso has no room against the frame. this cover is nearly impossible to remove  same spot using stage v cover. unbelievable amout of room. I used a white towel for contrast to show how much

well after keep getting the run around i opend a case against him and left him neg. feed back all i kept getting is empty promises and would have to keep contacting him then procmp wanted the valvecovers back to credit him(seller) then so the seller can credit me ( i didnt buy them from procomp and was no way for sure was gonna get paid by the seller after procomp got them back and credit the seller so cut my losses and guiess il try to get a lil of my money back and try selling these
any of you guys that see the valve covers that say fit 426 hemi be warned on what your really buying

My curiosity kicked in and I had to nose around. All of the ProComp information says "426 Hemi". The ebay ad says "66-71 426 Hemi". The seller looks like they are actually Pro Comp Motorsport.
I would have to agree that they look like they would fit a BAE head. I guess somebody scrounged up a junk head and sent it to China to have a valve cover pattern made. From what I have heard about these people, I can't say that I am surprised. Unfortunately, the OP got stuck. I hope he can get it straightened out.
If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.
