Rocker arm clearance

I am in the process of having a 351W built and wondered about valve cover choices. I wanted the use the Ford black wrinkle "cobra" lettered covers. These are stock height, any concern with roller rocker arm clearance?

I would love to hear from someone using them with rollers on any SB Ford.

I'm running that combo with no problems on Edelbrock heads. I should note that I'm not running a lot of cam lift (.496).

I'm using AFR 185's with Harland Sharp roller rockers on my 351W. I used the tall 'Cobra' covers from Tony Branda.

I have 1.7 roller rockers and a b303 cam(.512 lift) with black cobra covers with no clearance issues. I did remove a baffle from inside the cover though.
