I have the GT-40 and I am using the stock valve covers with 1.6 roller rockers and I had to remove the baffle and do a bunch of grinding to make them work. I'm not sure if it makes any difference using the X heads as I am still using the stockers, but I don't see why that would make a difference unless the surface the covers sit on is higher than it is on the ET7E heads.

Save yourself the trouble and order a set of Ford Racing covers and a 1" phenolic spacer. It will look a lot nicer and involve a lot less work. Or wait until you get the engine and test fit your stockers to see if they will work.

Too much to list. Best ET on the car so far with stock 2.73 gears - 13.73@102mph
