Default valve covers for rocker arm stud girdles

Who here is running stud girdles on there top end and with what valve covers? I know some tall covers won't clear the wiper motor but some will. This is for a stroked L98 supperram with afr195 heads. Any one have a set of the comp cam covers? I have my eye in them.

Be sure to get a set that will work for the AFR's valve spacing.

I'm running the melrose setup on mine with AFR 210 eliminators. No issues with valve spacing. The valve covers go on to studs that screw in to the girdle itself. I'm actually going to be selling the whole thing pretty soon as I picked up some T&D shaft rockers (just need to install them).

Since you have AFRs, you do have other options though since you can use perimiter bolt covers. I searched around quite a bit but couldn't find anything that would clear the alternator and wiper motor without cutting/welding though.

Mark, I don't want to hijack this thread, but do you have any pictures of how you managed to mount your Delteq unit????
