I woul say it woul be a tough fit, with some porting / grinding inside it could probably work.
Empi covers are a crude casting and thick, I had to grind and blueprint my Super Flo covers to make it work, and they are a lot bigger inside- and more square even the axle -sideways interfeared ! !
Also the Empis as with all rubbersealed covers are known to leak.

I use the stock valve covers with my 1.5 Pauters. I had to massage them with a hammer and a dolley though.

Catch my drift !  ;)

As I wrote, the Super Flos are bigger and more square and a thinner casting than the Empis, and I still had to grind and port them !
