Default valve covers

ok i have a 98 z28 and i am about to put roller rockers on it..
the problem is will the rockers fit with the stock valve covers?

i need to know if i can remount the coil packs somewhere else and get new valve covers or do they make valve cover that the coil packs can mount on to that are taller?

Yes and no, it all depends on what roller rocker you go with.

There are coil relocation kits but, as far as I know, they aren't very cheap. Valve covers aren't a problem except for one small thing; all 98's have perimeter mounting bolts where 99 and on use center mounted bolts. Conversely, if you want to spend some money, you can have custom valve covers made to your clearance needs and can be made with the perimeter bolt pattern. I hope this helps.

If you change to high lift cam and use 1,75 lift you must use spacers. If you only use 1.7Rockers, you're fine.
