Rick, steel is the only choice. You probably need 1/4" longer than stock. Assuming your going with new gaskets too. Just remember, thicker gaskets may need a little more length as well.

I went to a nice set of ARP valve cover studs. Very accomodating for different heights and acts like an extra set of hands while attaching wire looms and washers/ nuts.

Vette(s): 1971 350 270 hp roadster millivanilli red, black interior, white rag top, white hard top, I've had it 18 years and intend on giving it to my son for his 25th birthday(another 18 years from now)
I know it's not stock but I went with the stud and nut route with mine it made it a whole lot easier with the thick gaskets I used and the V/C sat perfect
