If they dont have a wide body like the NSA Comp Cams Pro-Mags then they should fit. If not just trim out part of the supports on the ones you have and that should work.

I'm running crane gold 1.6's and had the stock vc's chromed. They fit without any cutting or modification and not clearance issues. Just get yours chromed for 40-50 and save your money.

I love the look of Canton's valve covers, but I keep hearing of people having issues with leaks.
I've seen the junk eBay covers; You can polish them, but they just don't look right an an Fbody IMHO.
My ProMags fit just fine under the stock covers with minimal modification. I think I'll keep them for the time being.
