460 Valve Cover Questions
I received a set of "COBRA" Valve covers for Christmas. They were the ones that Holman Moody sells which are cast alluminum and simply say "COBRA" on them. They appear to be a little short. Do I need to use spacers on them to clear the roller rockers on the FMS 460 crate motor? (I don't have the car yet so I can't test fit them myself)
I really like the look of the Ford Motorsport Aluminum "COBRA" valve covers that are available for the 351w. FMS does not make them for the 460 and I have only seen one set that look similiar. They were on a 514 sitting in the shop at Olthoff Racing. Bob stated that they were no longer made due to (You guessed it) licensing issues.
Does anyone know who made the ones I saw in the shop?
Does anyone have a picture of the ones I have that they have mounted with spacers? I plan on painting these black but I am concerned at how they will look with the spacers on. Will they just look pieced together?
Thanks for your help.
