A FAST 102 will make more power with those heads than the stock intake.

I would run NGK TR6 (Part No. 5141) gapped at 0.040 inch, or longer life NGK TR61x (Part No. 3689) also gapped at 0.040 inch.

I am not sure on the valve cover clearance - the TFS 215s have more clearance for rockers. My Jesels, which are shaft mounted did not require a spacer.
