Can anyone tell me if these pantera valve covers are large enough for roller rockers
If not, what valve covers are large enough?

Roller rockers are not that much larger than stock. They should fit fine with those covers, I think.
The problem of valve covers being too small start to enter if you are running a stud girdle; some are fine with stock covers, some not.

I had to grind the pushrod end corners on the rockers next to the baffles and also bend the baffles some to get them to clear. Not all rockers are the same size so you will need to check yours.
Good luck,

If you really want to use these another option is a valve cover spacer, available in usually 1/2" that sandwiches betwwen the head and valve cover to raise it.

My Crane rollers fit fine but they are a close fit at the oil baffles.

Thanks guys,
I will probably go with the Crane rockers, good to know they fit.
Julian, good option on the spacer. I had them on a 351W but was not aware they were availble for a 351C. I will use this as a "plan B".

I’m using the pressure cast aluminum Crane rollers. They might be slightly larger than the machined ones. Can’t imagine you would need a spacer for the covers, they have a lot more room inside than the stock steel covers.
