Will baldie covers fit over T&D race rockers?

I'm assuming that they will, because I don't believe the T&D race set sits any higher than normal FE rockers, but I have never used them, so figured I'd ask the guys on here. Has anyone tried that combo?

If they don't fit get some of the B&B VC spacers , I run a set on my "smoothie VC's " to clear Dove end stands , just a thought

I thought about them but would like to avoid using spacers if at all possible. I would think that if just about any of the standard FE valve covers clear the race set, that the baldies should work. Certainly somebody has tried a set of CJ covers or something similar to them? I'm guessing they probably had to remove the baffles, but that's not an issue with the baldies.
Anyone?

With CJ cast covers, they fit the race rockers with baffles removed.

Thanks Earl and Brent. I may change my mind and use the CJ covers I have. It's nice to know I have the option of using a couple of original Ford covers.
