I don't think standard size valve covers will conflict with that intake. 
   I suggest getting the valve springs tested because they can be off 
even though the heads are new.  Also, a little ****t/gasket matching 
would be good and give a nice performance bump.

Get some new high performance push rods just to be safe.
