Whew, finally got the motor swapped out and the headers on.  For anyone
interested, I have edelbrock stamped steel valve covers on the motor without
any external clearance issues.  I did the aluminum foil test between the
rockers and the baffles and it came out fine. I'll find out if I am right when
I finally fire the beast.  And, OMG, you need to be a contortionist to get the
motor mounts between the header tubes and the frame/block. And the header
bolts on the drivers side.  Wow.  All I have left is Water pump, gen, etc.
Unfortunately, I am moving in a week.  That will have to come first.  Can't
lose any of those rare parts in the move.
