Only thing I can think of is valvetrain clearance.

If they were to high, then valvetrain clearance wouldn't be the problem, hitting the upper intake would be, but I guess you could get a phenolic spacer then. Ask them why it won't fit exactly.

The only clearance problem I can think of would be the ignition coil and tad/tab/evr mounting bracket. However, I think they will fit just fine. They look like the valve covers FRPP used to have for EFI ford trucks.

he was talking about the upper intake might be too low and interfere with those covers because they are taller than the stock covers.

I doubt there will be any issues - Ford Motorsports sold identical valve covers specifically for EFI truck V8's.
