Default 66 351E Rebuild Questions and Part needed

I pulled my stuck 351E. Honed the bores, looks good. New standard rings installed. Need a camshaft cover mine is rusted. I got gaskets from Olsons, the head gaskets are for a 401, they are 5 inches (piston size) my 351 is standard at 4 9/16. Will the gap cause an issue?
My truck is from Washington State, Auto, ps, pb, custom cab, with chrome grill and bumper. thanks guys. Chris

Gasket is fine. How much did Olsens charge? The cover should be easy enough, I have some, I am in kansas you might find one closer to home.

If I could get a cover that would be great. Send me a message on cost. Olson's charged $430 for a Head set.
