1.6 rr fit under stock valve covers?

[5.0kid]

as title says.
just wanted a new thread since my last one was getting confusing. I remember now that the guy i bought the heads from had the stock hood and a spacer on his stock intake and it cleared everything. that should be all i need.

Re: tallest spacer for gt40 intake and stock hood?

3/8ths would be my guess.

The GT40 is taller( I know the Cobra one) is taller then the stock one. The stock rockers are 1.6 believe so I think they should.

They will be fine, 1.7 is what you would have problems with.

i'm going to buy the 1.6's then. its not worth the trouble.

My 1.6 roller rockers fit underneath stock fox valve covers after removing the baffle and grinding in two spots.

but not 94-95 stock covers???

 

[Paul]

I don't know. But 94-95 stock valve covers are ugly! :hammer:


Seriously though, I'm not sure since I've never tried. If they don't fit, just get a different set of valve covers.

so, if i get these

what all will need to be done to fit them on a sn95?

Its not just the rockers you need to clear, but also the alternator, not sure about those.

 

[5.0kid]

how do you get a fox body one to fit then? I keep on hearing people using fox body ones, but don't know how they fit with the alternator. I'd rather use the stock one for a more stock apperance.

 

[Paul]

Well, because I'm using foxbody covers on a foxbody. :crazy2:

I've not tried bolting them on to a SN95 yet. Maybe I should do that when I get home just to answer this question once and for all.

Foxbody covers do have a nice stock-looking appearance, because they're stock. The ones I sell are just a little nicer because they've been cleaned, smoothed, and powdercoated. :boink:

 

[95-stang]

Here's the clearance involved:

Does'nt look much, but the alternator overhangs that cylinder head, means anything that goes "staright up" would need modifying.

 

[Paul]

Yep. On my tall Ford valve covers I had to have the passenger side cut, and a flat plat welded in to clear the alternator. I think foxbody covers would fit though. I really should check tonight.

 

[5.0kid]

if you are able to check paul, i'd be really greatful.

 

[Paul]

Okay, well I have to powdercoat two sets of valve covers tonight. If I'm feeling ambitious, maybe I'll try to bolt one down to the Unicorn and let you know.
