I think the valve covers should be ok. I'll know for sure once the cab gets bolted down for the last time. The hei distributor I have had to be taken out before I could get the cab mount holes lined up. It was touching the firewall and had the cab about 1/2" shy or more of lining up with the frame mounts. I'll probably end up running a small cap dizzy and thanks to this board and it's great members (greg65) I should have one soon.
Like you, I'll be shaving the firewall of any extra holes that won't be used when I put it back together.
Do you have any pictures of your truck?
