You might have to get creative and stack some 1 inch spacers


Just pull the intake back off and buy a systemax...trust me you wont be disappointed

I agree on the spacers, but it's gonna be way up there. Can you run a shorter valve cover? It would be cheaper than buying a whole new intake. Not trying to start anything, I'm just always on a budget - so that's how I look at it.

True I had the same issue with the tall ford valve cvers so I bought some sheetmetal covers from Barnett in Atlanta for around 150 and problem solved.

If you know anyone with some stock valve covers from and 87-93 car you may be able to use those
