I have run Crane roller rockers on my '73 since the early 90's with the aluminum L-82 covers and have had no clearance issues. I did switch to the thick FelPros a while back when I replaced the gaskets after the car sat for three years just to add a little extra clearance.However, there was a thread on here a few years back about someone having the rockers hit the stock tin covers on his engine. It turns out that he had flipped the covers before installing them (rotated 180 degrees). The factory tin covers are not symmetrical....

The later 350 covers with no writing on then can in fact be installed upside down if one isn't paying attention.
Good luck... GUSTO

If your valve covers have the dripper metal thingy welded to the underside, sometime you can just hit them with a hammer to move them down a bit. Not sure if that is where your's are rubbing.
