Looking for all the options for valve covers that will clear stock rockers with .650 plus lift cam that are ready to ship with in one week.
Also, what are the plug wires options.

From what I've read about them, the stock valve covers should work.

they have a taller rail, from what ive seen, so stock ones should clear even with aftermarket rockers(some not all)
as for the plug wires, i have MSD, but if i had to do it over, id buy the taylors.
the thundervolts, not the budget wire.

good luck.

if you use the truck coils, yes.
if you use car coils, no.
i think msd is the only one making truck wires, but ive seen a few posts where you can call taylor and get them made an inch longer.

good luck. im sure either wire is going to net the same results.

Taylor makes truck wires and they are longer than the car ones, how much, I can't remeber. Maybe 1" to 1.5" or so.

The longer wires are because of the taller rail on the head, not the coils. I wouldn't think the coils would have any effect on how long the wires needed to be. Either way, he needs truck wires.

the brackets are different, but about the same height. the truck coils wire terminal is up on top of the coil, where as the cars are down low on the side.
