Look under Bill Mitchell Hardcore Racing Products, I know they offer them. Not sure if Jegs/Summit offers them.

I also went under http://www.google.com and keyed in "big block" "chevy" "valve cover" "spacers" and came up with a few places.

I'm not sure how much clearance you need but I used these to gain some extra room for my roller rockers with stock covers.

Of course this was on a small block and I was using World Products heads that have a raised valve cover rail, but the gaskets are about .3 or .4 inches thick. So that is thicker than a conventional gasket, they don't crush and they are reusable. Earl's perforance products makes them and they are available thru Jeg's and Summit. p/n EAR-29E04B for a big block.

I just used Permatex to bond 2 gaskets together to gain clearance for my roller rockers- no leaks since it went together in 1990.
