Stud Rocker Clearence Help
Building a 351w for my 95 F150. Bought new aluminum heads that are stud mounted, so got the stud rockers. They are too tall for stock valve covers and I know that if you get valve cover spacers or just taller valve covers there will be clearencing issues with the EFI upper intake manifold. Does anyone know how big of a intake manifold spacer you can run without hitting the hood? I can make a guess myself but until I get my hood back I would rather see if someone else has already done this. Thanks

I believe the Edelbrock 3881 intake is 3" taller than stock.
3" your good, and plenty of clearance for valve covers.
People who have clearance issues is more than likely due to worn out body and rad support bushings, that brings the cab and hood down closer to the motor.
