stock valve covers and edelbrock intake

Will stock 340 valve covers work ok with an edelbrock airgap rpm intake manifold? I currently have aluminum mopar performance valve covers and want to go back with stock. The alum covers had been cut to work with the intake. If this is a problem, can the intake be ground down so the stock covers will fit? The heads are 340 X heads, if that matters. Thanks.
