As I try hard as I can to foresee future problems on my motor build, it never ceases to amaze me how these things sneak up. I knew in the back of my head that the Scorpion stud mount 1.6 RRs were lookin kinda big, but I didn't want to admit it. NOW I HAVE THIS PROBLEM:

I've done some research on this issue, seen it come up a few times, but nobody had a solid answer or a finished thread with a result.
My options:
1: Tall(er) covers, (Andersons?) + 1/2" spacer on the Holley Systemax intake + new hood?? I'm using solid mounts so it's going to be sitting a tiny bit lower.
2: A magical pair of valve covers that actually fit the Scorpions AND fit under the Holley AND the elbow (with maybe some massaging from a hammer)
I just spent a bit of money on the garbage PP elbow + a brand new 94-95 BBK cold air, i'd rather not go the fox throttle route because that will be about $300 down the drain. Although it would look sweet... damn it!!
Any ideas?
