Angry Need 460 (center bolt) valve covers or spacers

Hey all, It's been a couple weeks since I last posted. I installed a new pre 72' timing set, cam, and roller rockers. I now have an issue. My valve covers are way too short. Do any of you know where I can find some tall (center bolt) valve covers or 3/4" (or so) spacers? Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks, -Dan

I run scorpion roller rockers in my 93 460 with no problems. What brand are you using?

No need. I deserve the dumb-a_s of the year award. I was trying to install the valvecovers over a couple spark plug wires that slipped between the valve cover and the head. Needless to say, the valve covers cleared just fine once I pulled out the wires. Thanks for the responses though. I should finally be getting the valvetrin adjusted tonight and will post my results of the new pre 72 timing set, cam, and crane energizer adjustable roller rockers. Thanks everyone for your help through this one.
