Not sure what the part# is. They are the ones for the offset rocker's though? My engine builder and ETP talked and got them the correct part# for it.

Those are the ones we could not get to clear yella terra adjustable. They where hitting the nut on the rocker, the guy brought them in so i am not sure what part number he used .( from other stuff related to build it was the cheapest they offer) Just firgure the room you need and ask befor you order. The covers look nice the welds where good but they would not clear.

Katech can only say that their covers "should" fit.
I have some stock 5.3 heads here and the top rail on them is 8mm wide. On my ETPs it is 6mm wide. The ETPs are also 3mm wider between the rails. So things might not line up quite the same.
There is an online article where some stock valve covers were modified to fit on some ETPs because they supposedly sealed better than aftermarket. But even if I took the baffles, etc. out of mine, I would still have to cut out the tops of the covers to clear the rockers.
