Default Flange to Centerbolt Valve Covers adapters

Has anybody tried either of these valve cover adapters with success?

I currently have a set of Moroso flange bolt aluminum valve covers with fabriacted coil per cylinder mounts and breather tubes. They also clear my Jesel rocker stands. I am converting over from AFR LT4 210 to AI Trickflow heads and want to keep these covers.

My initial concern with either of these adaptor plates is if they will clear my rocker stands and rockers. I am running 1.65" jesel rockers. Thanks for any info and Merry Christmas!

Both will work fine. It will not clear set ups utilizing bigger valve springs.

grn95t/a and BOLO, thanks for the responses.

BOLO, I'll be running PSI dual springs springs from AI with the following dimensions; OD = 1.460" ID = 1.060. Are you saying these adapters will not clear these springs?

Have whoever is doing your new heads to weld in threaded bushings on location for the valvcovers . Cheaper and easier.

Z8'S, that makes a lot of sense. I will definitely let them know. Thanks for the heads up on this.
