That's fine. I just want you to be aware of it. I don't know anything
about the 5.0's. I know with the Magnum valve covers they sit taller and
the baffles for the vent hoses are only on the corners and they are flat so
they shouldn't get in the way. As for the gaskets Will was right. If it's
the kind with silicone on both sides and metal in the middle they're
reusable. If you decide to get the Magnum covers they come with a new set.
Also, if you get the new set the PCV hose won't fit correctly. You'll need
to get a longer hose.

Thanks Ron, I did not know I needed new gaskets, but I understand I have to
remove the baffles on the valve covers. I had to do the same thing to my 5.0
