What roller rockers fit under stock valve covers?

I am seriously considering going the roller cam route for my '72 350 (I like the idea of the no break-in period like a flat tappet cam), and was also considering some roller rockers to go along with it.

My question is... what roller rockers fit under stock valve covers? Harland Sharp? Comp Cam? Part #'s would help also as I have no clue what I need.

thx

I used Harland Sharp with a Dick Miller "thick" valve cover gasket. Looks totally stock from outside.

A lot of types will work. But it's the poly locks that interefere as much or more as the rockers. Comp sells shorter polys.
I have 1.72 Ford/AMC/Olds rockers on mine with their locks. No problem with stock height valve covers, but the baffle has to be removed. Might not have to be with the shorter polys though.
