New valve covers ???
Any recommendations? I'm putting dart heads with magnum pro roller rockers. Where can I buy an after market that will fit without a lot of mods. I can't use my stock covers because I cracked one trying to removed the tabs...

PML Corvette "old school" script covers, or Scooter's for carbon fiber-assuming you're still using the
centerbolts.
Otherwise, there are endless offerings for perimeter valve covers....

Now, you can wipe up that drool and break out the Mastercard.

I have also seen these same covers on fleebay for around 70. new !! They are surpirisingly good quality w/1/4" billet plate at bottom, all welds are great, and made in a few styles including center bolt. Speedway has some good prices on other covers as well.
Haven't put them on the car yet, but based on my measurements YES, they should fit. The highest point (in the middle) is only 1/2" taller than my GMP's (in my corv. pics). The "house " type shape has only a small section that is taller. The overall is 3 1/4" measured from the flange to the highest point, the gmp's measure 2 3/4" across the entire top from the flange.
If I were to still have the AC, the edge of the bracket would be moe of an issue. It would have needed some modding, as the valve cover on these extends to the outside edge (no flat area around the perimeter like stock ones or gmp's).

When I got mine there was several other vendors with all the same sheet metal covers posting, an example here:

i sold a set of used pro-form centerbolt covers in wrinkle black a few months back for $50. they clear full roller rockers and don't leak. good option if you want to be cheap. those carbon covers are sick BTW
