GT40P heads and 1.7 rockers ?

[1989GT]

Will these flow bettter or just the same as stock gt40p heads ?

I would say that those heads will flow better with the bigger valves(atleast some due to the valve job) but you really need to port the head to take full advantage of the bigger valves.

Will i be able to use stock vavle covers ?

Yes, but you may have to do a little work to them.

And i'm not too sure if i'll have piston to valve clearance issues. My cam is .499/.510 . Its the trickflow stage 1.

With 1.7rr that's .530/.542, I know there are a few guys running the stage 1 cam with 1.7's with out any piston to valve clearance issues. But the only way to know for sure is to check when you assemble the engine.
