Stock valve covers

Hi guys,

I am building a 520 stroker with P51 heads for my BB CJ 71 mustang.
Does anyone know what the highest lift cam I can use with stock CJ valve covers?
Intending to use a roller cam.

Cheers

Peter

If I am not mistaking I think Price Motorsports make them also.

PS: I like CJ valve covers a lot also but, I would not base my cam choice on them.

I am glad you asked that question. I just found something new. I am also planing CJ valve covers an maybe roller rockers also.

The O.E.M. valve covers with the "oil dippers" won't even go onto the P-51 heads without removing those dippers.

I'm using the stock cj covers on a .666 lift solid roller, (Iron CJ heads). just removed the oiling dipper/tabs inside.

I used stock valve covers with a .660 lift solid roller. Rockers tapped the cover so I just ran two valve cover gaskets to gain enough clearance.
