Default Ordering ETP 215s, what other stuff do I need with 11 degree heads?

I did a bunch of searches, and I just wanted to confirm a few things.

I need 8.1" pushrods, right?

The stock valvecovers will not work, right? If so, what do I do to either make them fit, or alternatively, which valve covers can I buy as substitutes?

8.1s most likely, but best to measure to be sure.

stock valve covers work fine

Hmm, I wonder what I read then about the valve covers then. Maybe because of aftermarket rockers arms?

I second that. Ordered mine Feb 1st, no sign of them yet. If you're smart, unlike me, just look around until you find someone with them in stock or Santa may be deivering them to you.

I know a place with them in stock. After I order mine (probably tomorrow), I'll post up.

I have a set of 255's for sale, They will be too large for a 346. Are you going to put in a 346 in your FD?

I know for sure they work with 225s and stock rocker arms

You need aftermarket covers or spacers. You can mod the stock covers to fit, but the covers won't work unmodded.
