Well seems like it will be close with the shaft rockers. I had to remove the breather that wedges between rockers other then that the ends of the cover it seems the shafts hit it a bit. I put on a second gasket and it seems to clear. It may require a bit of a ding with a ball peen hammer and it may just work when things get into place. I will still have to test it at lift to make sure it all works and get it all bolted into place. The taller aluminum cobra style fit fine, but they are the taller casting version for roller rockers which are a bit taller then the tiger castings. The ends are I think going to be the only problem just due to the non-squared ends of the valve cover, the aluminum ones are more square it seems.
Some images of the mocked up motor. I have to do some smashing on the oil pan too, the splayed caps on the bottom end are a bit tigher to the pan then expected.
