Valve covers

09-17-2018, 01:28 PM

What aftermarket valve covers can I use as replacement of damaged and rusty stock parts? The engine will remain stock, no performance upgrades, just rebuild and dress up. So I need covers which will fit engine with the stock EFI etc. I was looking on some, but most of them have the oil filler on the opposite side

Stock 5.0 HO valve covers work nicely. They are cast aluminum and have the fill neck in the same location as stock. Mustang and Lincoln Mark VII have them, should be cheap on ebay. Otherwise, aftermarket stuff for Mustangs will work but you want low profile covers otherwise the intake will need a spacer for clearance.
