Jegs or Summit. Or just as he said above, and maybe try double gaskets.

Theres a company out there that makes a shim that goes between the vc and the head to allow clearance with stock vc's. I'm sure if you look around you'll find what i;m referring to.

I am using the stock covers with my 1.6 comp pro mags.You can bend the lip on the support ribs closest to the intake.Do a search on LT1 tech.There is a website with detailed pictures on how to do it.
