Stockers will clear aftermarket rockers... and fyi, most aftermarket ones will need to be clearanced as well.
You have seen mine, I could get you specifics if ya want.

The E-bay ones look like mine, they were made by a company called something like Weysco, but they stopped producing them about 6-7 years ago. I don't know of anyone that still makes the one peice ones anymore.

Canton also stopped producing their high rise valve covers for the LT1, Don't forget the valve cover needs to be notched for the Alt unless you are running a Corvette Serp set up.
You can use Corvette composite valve covers as they don't need to be clearanced, but they are pretty expensive brand new, and when they do pop up used I've seen them move very quickly.

Powder coat the stockers bright red or something like that. Looks real nice IMO.
