Ford vs Chevy Build-up

Some trial fitting of components shows slight interference between the fuel rails and lower manifold...just a touch with the die grinder will remedy that. As I suspected the rockers will need just a tad more clearance with the stock valve covers...I can either double gasket them or run an aftermarket set I have on hand. The tall covers present even more problems with interference on the upper plenum not to mention the inability to remove either cover without pulling the upper plenum first. I'm thinking stick to the factory pieces.
