Default Roush 427R Valve Cover - About to go insane!

This follows up my previous thread as I'm getting desperate. I have had the covers off my motor for 3 1/2 weeks and am going around in circles. I’m trying to find a decent looking valve cover that does not have ROUSH advertising all over it and will work on the motor. Here is what I have tried and the results:

Pentroof FE covers w/Medice MFG adaptors - Look like a million bucks, clear everything, but can not get the adaptors to seal to the head without leaks.. I have tried Ford TA-31 and other great sealants with no luck so I’m done.

Scott Drake 351W valve covers with the CS Shelby logo and were supposed to clear roller rockers - These look great, are fine in the height department (just) but the pockets cast for the valve cover bolts hit the valve springs.

Summit Racing “Fabricated” 351W Covers - Look decent (not as good as the others) but the mounting rail (gasket lip) hits the push rods and will need a ton of grinding to clear. I’m not thrilled about doing that for a cover I only like. They also are out about .035” from flat so they would need to be sanded on a surface plate or have creative gasket installation.

Blue Thunder Competition covers would top my list but they will not have 351W covers until the end of the year.

So…WHAT (good looking) VALVE COVERS ACTUALLY FIT THIS THING AND BOLT ON?! Argh!

I do not want to use spacers or adaptors as given the issues I have had, I wouldn’t wan’t them on a cruise in case one let go.

It seems like everyone that made nice SBF valve covers either stoped (Cobra Valley) or is currently out of production (Blue Thunder and Shelby Engine Co).

I’m hoping someone has a miracle or a pair of used Blue Thunder covers.

Thanks!
