Valve cover (edelbrock head, roller rocker arms)

I am trying to figure out exactly what valve cover will work for my application, maybe without mods if that's possible.

I have the edelbrock aluminum head and am using 1.65 Harland sharp roller rockers.

Is there a valve cover that will drop right onto that setup?

I think must people run a spacer or just double gasket.

The cast finned Crown cover will work.
All other covers require some level of clearancing

Like that one? I don't know exactly which one or years is finned and cast

Actually that seems like it must be stamped.

Do 4.2L valve covers work?

I have read 4.2L valve covers are not compatible. No first hand experience though.
