    Im building a new motor for my 56 its a 337 with Brodix No 8 heads with roller rockers stud girdles. My problem is my Cal Custom valve covers are to short I didnt think there would be a problem since they are tall. But they dont fit was thinking of using spacers but may go with a new set. My question is does anyone make a set that will clear the valve train that look like older Cal Customs? Thanks

    Valve cover spacers are also traditional. ;)

    There are a few companys that produce a tall version of the finned valve covers. Mostly imported from China. PM me if you need some.

    I have a pair of tall Cal Customs that clear roller rockers. Have you tried your regular Cals, because some of the Brodix heads have raised valve cover rails.

    I use the finned Edlebrocks on Brodix heads with a roller set up, but no stud girdle.

    I run old m/t s with 2 gaskets glued together with roller rockers and a girdle.
     
  9. I'm running those cheesy valve covers from China. The sides are actually kinda thick, so I had to grind the inside of the valve covers to clear my roller set up. I've got more pictures in my H.A.M.B album.
