Default Question about valve covers

hey guys/gals, I've been out of the loop awhile, I hope everyone is well.

I am finally starting to get to adding my Trick Flow parts to the Mustang (4 years in the making, lol). My question is with Trick Flow Twisted Wedge heads, can I use the stock valve covers? I still need to get some rocker arms, so, I am hoping I can just use the stock valve covers.

I blew out the water pump in February, so the car has been sitting since then. Since I have it torn apart, I am going to go ahead and add the TFS stage 1 cam, the TFS TW heads, but I still need to get a set of roller rockers.

Thanks in advance.

mine worked with with stock valve covers and crane gold rockers. I might have had to take the baffles out or adjust them with a hammer. cant remember

Stock valve covers should work but you will probably need to machine the baffle out completely. That is what I had to do to clear the roller rockers on my car. Also look for 91-93 covers. They don't have the cast ribs on the inside that can get in the way depending on the rocker arm.
