stock valve cover?

[QCmustang94]

fast and easy question : will the stock valve cover will fit with the edelbrock 60379 heads, e303 cam, 1.6 roller rocker and cobra intake?

I would say no, not if the rockers are stud mounted.

No the rockers wont fit. They wouldnt fit over my Frpp rockers, they were ped. mount as well. Some skinnier ones might fit, but that would be a close call. Is your car a GT or a cobra?

 

[QCmustang94]

It's a 94 gt with the 5.0l. Because I don't want to pay 300$ for new valve covers... Which one on Americanmuscle would fit my setup?

Old Fox covers are the best, check the sticky out at the top of the page.

Dont listen to others I have stock valve covers on my new 306, and I have new trickflow aluminum heads and ford racing roller rockers,With some work you can make it fit, the trick is to deck the block and lower intake manifold, and use a double thick intake gasket on the lower intake and a spacer and double up the gaskets and you can make the stock valve covers esp with ford racing roller rockers and aftermarket intake manifold with new heads it will now clear stock hood to save you money from having to buy a new hood and new valve covers, and you get the sleeper look of being stock

That would be alot of work. I would just find a set of fox covers and call it a day. I think Paul might have a couple sets he powdercoated. He might pop in here and say something

So i'll only need a set of fox valve cover and that's it? If Paul have some to sell I'm interrested.

Ya, some peaple run into a problem with the filler neck. Not everyone but some end up cutting and welding the neck so it will clear the intake. Check out the sticky near the top of the 5.0 section. But that also depends on the intake your going to use.

Yes thanks... I just looked at the thread. Will buy some valve cover from Paul!

The way around the filler neck is its in the way of the 94-95 elbow and intake,just buy yourself an extension with a filler neck filter then it will sit right above the intake and easy to change the oil thats what I did I bought one from metco motorsports heres a pic of my engine bay now able to clear stock valve covers aftermarket intake and the filler neck all under a stock hood
