    You should be able to use a 1" phenolic spacer to clear the tall FRPP valve covers. I believe TFS makes a 1" speacer for the Holley?

    Be careful with the 1" spacer, I ran into clearance probs with my TFS intake and the hood when I ran a 1" spacer with stock motor mounts. Ended up having to pull the hood and run it "Redneck" style for that w/e of racing :D

    I like chromed stock v/c and there will be no clearance issure there......

    FWIW, my standard height TFS valve covers clear my stud mount rockers and require no spacer to clear my intake.......

    This is good to know as I was thinking about using these valve covers if I get the Stage II TFS heads and ditching the spacer with my Edelbrock Performer RPM intake.
